Letter to the Chief Editor - New Vision 9/10/2004
Why attack us Baganda and our king? |
![]() |

THE KING: Ronald Mutebi II |
SIR� As a Muganda,
I feel provoked whenever
I read articles and letters
in the press attacking us Baganda and our beloved Kabaka.
So many non-Baganda
accuse us of arrogance
and tribalism and holding
the Government to ransom
in our desire for a federal
system of governance,
which so many people have interpreted as seeking for
a special status for Buganda.
That�s why, before you
question Baganda�s quest
for the so-called special status in Uganda, you should first
ask yourself the following questions:
1. Why was this country named Uganda?
2. Why did the colonialists
put their base in Buganda before expanding to form
the present day Uganda?
3. Why are there many Baganda ministers
in the Government than
any other tribe?
4. Why does the President
use English with Luganda whenever addressing
the nation?
5. Why is it only in Buganda, where we have elected leaders who are
non-Baganda?
6. Do you know why
Banyarwanda and Barundi refugees, had to trek all
the way through Kigezi and Ankole before settling
in Buganda?
7. Why is everything
centred here in Buganda � i.e. industries from Jinja (Busoga) to Namanve?
Once you find answers
to those questions,
you will change your attitude towards Buganda.
Lastly, I advise anybody
with a negative attitude towards Buganda
to go slow because it will not be easy to change
the status quo.
