The Kabaka of Buganda Kingdom, Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II has tasked the Lukiiko and subjects to strongly speak out against different voices aimed at diverting the institution’s efforts in advocating for their rights and property.

“We must all jointly double efforts to water down the falsehoods, malicious and hateful words that are intended to divert us from our quest for justice and advocacy on key issues pertaining the kingdom,” Kabaka Mutebi said in part.

The Kabaka was opening the 29th Buganda Lukiiko on Monday in Bulange atthe Kingdom’s administrative headquarters in Mengo. The Lukiiko is the legislative assembly for the kingdom and is composed of the kingdom ministers, county chiefs and clan leaders, and is also attended by Buganda’s representatives outside Buganda in Uganda and other countries using internet based collaboration tools.

Kabaka Mutebi’s statement comes after central government officials sustained attacks on Mailo land tenure system and described the kingdom’s Buganda Land Board-BLB illegal.
