Mbarara, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | Only 20 people will attend the burial of the Obudhingya Bwa Bwamba-OBB queen mother Rhoda Nsoliya Kwamara.

Nsoliya was a wife to late Kawamara Yeremiya one of the three Rwenzururu movement liberators and the mother of the reigning king of OBB, Lt Col Martin Kamya Ayongi.

She died on Thursday morning from Kampala.

The cultural institution spokesperson Rev. Goeffrey Kyomuhendo says they have to comply with the standard operating procedures-SOPs.

He says the kingdom subjects will follow the burial arrangements on the local media.

Kyomuhendo said those with condolences should send them through the king’s chiefs.

Thomas Kamuhanda the kingdom first deputy prime minister said the departed queen mother will be remembered for her struggle during the Rwenzururu movement.

Nsoliya will be laid to rest on today, Sunday at Booma grounds in Bundibugyo town next to her husband’s tomb.

Gideon Sebugyo one of elders in the kingdom recalls that the queen mother was a traditional birth attendant who helped many pregnant mothers to deliver.
