Baruuli prepare for enthronement
Inspired by the recent enthronement of the Kamuswaga in Kooki county, the people of Buruuli have launched a fundraising drive towards a sh106m ceremony to crown their Ssaabaruuli, writes Frederick Kiwanuka.
The proposed function, whose preparations are already in full gear, is scheduled to for October in Nakasongola town, according to a tentative programme by Banyara-Baruuli clan heads.
Ssalongo Mwogezi of Lwampanga sub-county in Nakasongola district, is said to be the supreme cultural head of the 129 Baruli-Banyara clans.
Mwogezi said in an interview recently that the crowning would strengthen the Baruli-Banyara culture.
“The Baruli have their own culture which is different from that of the Baganda. We want to strengthen our identity,” the bespectacled chief said.
