A group of Banyoro allied to ousted Bunyoro Kingdom ‘Prime Minister’ (Omuhikirwa) Andrew Byakutaga have reportedly threatened to demonstrate in Hoima town, demanding his reinstatement.
Sources in Hoima have told The EagleOnline that the ‘Byakutaga group’ calling themselves Abarusura (Omukama Kabalega’s army), led by one Francis Atugonza and Ali Babi will storm the Karuziika Palace tomorrow to ensure Rukirabasaija Solomon Gafabusa Agutamba Iguru revokes his recent appointment of Norman Lukumu as Prime Minister.
By press time it was not possible to get Byakutaga for comment, but in a lengthy communication dated April 3, Omukama Iguru reiterated that Lukumu was appointed Omuhikirwa on May 1, 2016 to serve a five-year period ending in 2021.
In the same communique he named Prince Apollo Kisoro as his Principal Private Secretary, and urged the reinstated Omuhikirwa to ensure all cases he filed in court are withdrawn.
