The Independent Uganda: You get the Truth we Pay the Price
Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | President Yoweri Museveni has distanced himself from Buganda clan leaders (Bataka) who travelled to Namibia, supposedly to visit Kabaka Ronald Mutebi who is recuperating there.
The Bataka reportedly said President Yoweri Museveni had sponsored their trip, after they raised the matter at their meeting with the President on June 8.
“I have seen a letter…informing me of the indiscipline of some Ugandans vis a vis the Kabaka’s presence in Namibia,” said Museveni in a letter to foreign affairs minister Jeje Odongo titled ‘Preventive arrest of Buganda clan heads in Namibia”
He said in the meeting on June 8th, he had told the Bataka that “we are not aware and nor are we involved in the issue of the HH Kabaka’s presence in Namibia.”
“Therefore, by the copies of this letter, I request all the Ugandans to stop embarrassing Uganda by opportunistically trying to show how much they are for the Kabaka.
He concluded by saying “theses dramas are happening away for our jurisdiction. otherwise, we would have taken action.”
