thank you for injecting some sense and insight into this exchange which was degenerating into the usual garbage from the usual quarters. I wish people would ask before commenting on something they apparently have no idea about !
Anyone who knows Buganda would know that there is no Buganda royal of any substance in this group. These are minor distant royals who are out to 'kulembeka' from Mu7, who also uses them for his own ends. That's the crux of the matter. All this empty talk about this having anything to do with federalism is utter rubbish.

Mr. Matek,
You are the one who is myopic, not Baganda. The royal Clan is one of the 52 clans of Buganda and I think its population could be between 200,000 to 800,000. Read the article properly. Those in the nespapers associated together to form and register their organization with less than 500 members. Why did they form that organization? You dont know but the reporter gave you a clue. Princess Ndagire with backings from Mu7, Salim Saleh, Kakooza Mutale and Prince Kamanya tried to topple Kabaka Mutebi and disturbilize the Kingdom with the sole aim of making it politically toothless, and eventually wiping it out. They misculculated and Baganda behind the Kabaka and Mengo marched to the then cuptured Kasubi Tombs without fear of the armed Saleh, Mutale & co, and eventually took over the Tombs. Their step #1 failed misarably. Within a month, the the over powered armed Ndagire was enlisted in the president's office and later given the post of special adviser. She is still an "adviser" to Mu7.
Any logical sane person cannot construe from the above history and current situation that Kabaka Mutebi, Mengo, Buganda Royals ( majority) and Baganda are part and parcel of this group! The tactics mu7 is using in the north, are basically the same in the west ( Kigezi ), East and Buganda. He has been telling his philosophy to Ugandans but they dont get it. He always tells of "ensenene" ( grasshoppers) being put in a tin by Man ( mu7). one type of grasshopper ( kulunkalu) bites off another type ( kulumbisi) and another type ( mulangira) etc. without realising that their enemy is man (mu7) who put them in a tin is hiding somewhre waiting for his turn to bite. I think this reminder will put this nosense to its ending.

EM:
A wise politician once told me that in politics you must make your move very
carefully. You must make your move bearing in mind the implications of such
moves three, four, ten years from now on you.
Let us face it... Buganda is part and parcel of Uganda whether one likes it
or not. Now ask yourself as to whether the move by the so called Buganda royals
will essentially play out well for Buganda Royal with it's relationship with
other Ugandan Tribes five years from now after Museveni is gone? ... You
immediately begin to see the political Mypic of the Buganda. They are pretty much
digging the political grave, so to say, of the so called Buganda Royals ! ..
especially as it pertains to the Relationship between the Buganda royals and
other tribes of Uganda. I SEE EMBIRO!!!
