Mr. Mulindwa,

here is the email to remind you whenever you said "we"
From: "Adam Dada" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: ugnet_: Mulindwa is not Mulindwa! - is this a joke? Date: Fri, 02 Apr 2004 12:30:49 +0000
"Mulindwa"- It is obvious to any netter that you have got scores to settle with Buganda and Baganda. Yours is not the ordinary balanced criticism - it is outright hatred. You invariably only have negative, and at that distorted views about Buganda and Baganda. Clearly, that can't be right. The Baganda can distinguish between open hatred and constructive criticism, and this happens all the time here. But the might of Buganda/Baganda cannot be diminished by non-entities the likes of yourself. You are my fellow notherner, and it pains me that you have failed to own up to that fact - instead you have chosed to disguise yourself in a kiganda name "Mulindwa" to sow hatred and abandon your kin and keith. We still want you back - there is nothing wrong with being a northerner, these are your roots. We want you back openly.
Adam

When one reads such postings, one can not help but wonder if Buganda, and if this King has any idea of what he is stating here.
If you go to Buganda and talk to the population as I did early in the year, you cannot help but come to a conclusion that the Mengo confused agents have done a real piece of work on the Buganda population. It is very irresponsible for this Ssabasajja to state that Buganda will get federal, for this king has absolutely no right to state so or even to ask for it. For smart as this King is, surely he knows full well that even president Museveni can not make Buganda a federal. A smart King as this king is surely by now would have understood, that even if Uganda today gets a Muganda President, he/she can not give Buganda federal. So with such comments one can not help but wonder what is wrong with us as Baganda.
But all these things we stated long time ago, and they all have come true, we were called anti Buganda and people like my self and Lisa Toro were booted out of Fednet, for we failed to see the beauties which are going to become of Buganda when Uganda becomes a Federal state. Some times I monitor what squabbles go on in fednet today and I thank God for I ain't a member of such, for we have lost clarity.
And friends like Mwami Kibuuka who I love so well, must back off a bit today and ask them selves a simple question. What does DP especially the young DP has to do with all this fracas? Are the Kijyomanyi's, the Dr Kigongo's and so on of today in this war for they love Buganda and Uganda? Or it is because they want to see DP in power so they use Buganda through Mengo to get the Buganda support? You see what this King must understand is that if the Baganda today have beaten the crap out of Mayanja Nkangi, their former Katikiro, they will turn against Mengo as soon as they are in power.
If the Kijyomanyi's trully support Federalism to empower Buganda, and not out of malice, why don't they support Kabaka Yekka Party? Have you ever asked your self that question?
Let me give Mengo an advice. You are a cultural institution in Uganda. You will be in Uganda and as a cultural entity whether Uganda is a federal state or a unitary state, and there is no debate about that. But due to your size and location in the nation, Uganda government will look at you very carefully and you vice versa. So instead of blaming Obote and Amin, instead of attacking Museveni and NRM, show that you have grown democratically. Demonstrate that. Even in federal countries like Canada, negotiations are done daily on who can control this or that, and to tell you the truth all governments I have seen love some one to take responsibility from it. Surely if Buganda can run Buganda hospitals effectively, Uganda government will hand them over for that will be one problem less. If you see a government refusing to hand over responsibility to any one, then you have two things on your hand, either the government isn't sure about your ability to fulfill such, or every one in the nation is eating and you want a piece of the pie through lies and innuendos.
So I ask. Do we as Baganda honestly want Buganda to be federal when we can not get an election in Mengo ever? Ssabasajja stand up and demonstrate to me that you are not a dictator as Museveni, for you have an elected Lukiiko in Mengo then I will trust you as a Muganda to support your call. For I am fine with Museveni being a dictator for I can get a gun and over throw him but the Kingdom is born. Ssabasajja you are using an unelected Lukiiko to build an entity which you claim to become democratic, can you explain this please, after we get federal in Buganda are you going to fire all the Lukiko members and make them stand in their constituencies to be elected back into Lukiiko? How exactly will this work?
You are asking for Ebyaffe, and you surely should get them. But Ssabasajja NRM handed over some properties to Buganda when the kingdom was reinstated, what have you done with them so far? Can we see that report please? For I can state here and now that if the properties given back to Mengo by NRM, were being used profitably today, if they were an icon in Uganda today, then the call from State House would be to ask you if you need more. Take The AgKan as an example, he has buildings and it is accountability and he will get more any time. Ssabasajja where is Mengo's accountability?
Until when we can demonstrate that Mengo is better than NRM, it is all a joke and DP is right to use federal request to get to power.
Ayi Ssabasajja Wangala.

Buganda to get federo- Mutebi By Robert Mwanje & Ignatius Ssuuna Aug 2, 2004 - Monitor
MENGO - The Kabaka of Buganda, Ronald Muwenda Mutebi, has said the kingdom will get a federal system of governance no matter how long it takes. He, however, urged his subjects to remain calm. The visibly angry Kabaka made the remarks while opening a three-day workshop on federalism at Twekobe in Mengo palace at the weekend.
He said Buganda makes its demands through peaceful negotiations because the kingdom does not want the country to slide into chaos. "We are still demanding for our things (Ebyaffe) peacefully because we want freedom to prevail in this country," he said amid chanting from his subjects.
In response, his subjects told him that peaceful means would not deliver the results.
This was the first time the Kabaka was speaking publicly after the failed negotiations over federo between Mengo and the government. Buganda's demands include federo, categorisation of Kampala city as a part of Buganda region, and the return of 9,000 square miles of crown land currently deemed public land.
Mutebi, who arrived in a six-car convoy at noon, said the government had the responsibility to help the kingdom regain its lost glory. Silence descended on thousands of federo agitators, who were chanting federo slogans, when the Kabaka left his royal seat and addressed his subjects from a public podium.
Heads of various clans said the Kabaka does not address his subjects standing. Reading his speech from a podium signified grave concern over federo, they said.
The Cabinet early last month opted to grant Buganda a regional tier system of governance. And, a few days ago, President Yoweri Museveni led a government team into talks with a Buganda delegation at Nakasero and suggested that Mengo be granted a municipality status - instead of reclassifying Kampala as part of Buganda.
Museveni also reportedly told the delegation that at no time, during the five-year bush war, did he promise to grant Baganda federo.
