Daudi Kasirye And at the end of the day trust me Buganda with its Kingdom are way screwed than any part of Uganda. For either way you slice The Movement departure, the North is on rebound, East is on rebound, Western Uganda will face some deaths but will with time rebound. The danger with Buganda is that all those that are rebounding, are starting to understand the sacrifice they suffer by Buganda's stupidity. It is so funny that someone today sent me a text that made me ponder and it was very simple. Museveni is a very smart man he has managed to tie Buganda and UPC in a same relationship. In all damage he has done in Uganda, do you actually know Olara Otunu's stand let alone Ssabassajja Mutebi's?
