Obote froze the Kabaka�s account - Monitor 23/5/2005 By Esther Nakkazi LONDON � Thirty-nine years ago today, the Kabaka of Buganda and President of Uganda, Sir Edward Mutesa was overthrown in a bloody coup that cost hundreds of lives.
His Prime Minister, Apollo Milton Obote, deployed army chief Idi Amin to attack the Kabaka�s palace at Mengo, but after a daylong gun battle, they failed to kill or capture him.
Classified documents recently obtained from the National Archives of Britain indicate that after he made his heroic escape from Uganda to the UK, Mutesa was forced to live the life of a pauper after Obote froze his account in Kampala from which money could have been sent to the Kabaka in UK.
Obote slapped a state of emergency on Buganda and arrested the Nabagereka and Mutesa�s sister for fear that the Baganda would rally around them.The Monitor has obtained the secret documents detailing the suffering Mutesa underwent after Obote confiscated his money, and brings you the moving story tomorrow, Tuesday May 24.
