The Independent Uganda: You get the Truth we Pay the Price
Nairobi, Kenya | THE INDEPENDENT | Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II has today held talk with President Uhuru Kenyatta at State House, Nairobi. He later also met Kenyan opposition leader Raila Odinga.
A statement from State House Nairobi indicated that the visit by the Kabaka of Buganda to Kenya offered an opportunity for a discussion of the central role of culture in regional integration and peaceful communal co-existence.
Photographs of the meeting were shared widely on social media in Uganda, following rumours about the ill health of Kabaka Mutebi that were rubbished by the Katikkiro Charles Peter Mayiga earlier, and President Yoweri Museveni yesterday.
Museveni said he had ordered Uganda Police to hunt for the people who spread the false news about the health of Kabaka Mutebi.
Mfalume (Kabaka’s) mysterious trip to Kenya
It remains of concern that a public figure can go missing and then suddenly turn up in Kenya without any Press statement from Mengo to quell the so called rumours on Radio Katwe/ social media. We will probably never know the truth behind the urgent travel during lockdown other than Mfalume -consulting on regional cooperation- in contrast to Muteesa II priority on Federalism.
Rather than going hard after the gossipers, we hope all the fake news can be quashed with a press conference!
