President Yoweri Museveni has bashed Mr Apollo Makubuya, Advisor of Buganda Kingdom, for miss presentation of facts and implored him to embark on making research to get on the right truck.
In his speech during the Memorial Lecture for Edward Mutesa II that was held at the Sheraton Hotel in Kampala, the former third Deputy Prime Minister and Attorney General of the kingdom Apollo said the deceased worked towards uniting the Uganda as one country among others.
Mr Makubuya and lawyer David Mpanga were demoted by the Kabaka of Buganda in the last reshuffle that saw the two gentlemen pushed to lesser important roles in the kingdom. Mpanga was to later to be removed as the country’s Managing Partner for Bowmans Uganda chapter after court declared him conflicted.
However, on taking up the microphone, President Yoweri Museveni who was also the chief guest lauded the Mutesa II for working towards the development of this county. He however, eluded Mutesa’s failure to his advisers who included the former President Apollo Milton Obote, the hypocrite leader who later attacked the palace.
“I don’t know whether Makubuya you know that now? Yes, the Democratic Party didn’t agree with Kabaka Yekka. The problem was Obote’s hypocrisy and Ben Kiwanuka’s truthfulness” he told Makubuya.
He said Democratic Party did not liaise with Kabaka Yekka when they tabled Federal as one of their demands.
Museveni further educated Makubuya that the problem began when the DP had issues with the kingdom because they were demanding a lot of impossibilities.
“Some of the demands according to the president were to have a state within a state. Makubuya, have you noted that one down?” he elaborated.
Museveni said Kabaka Yekka mistreated DP in Buganda for telling the truth. Do you get that one Makubuya? Makubuya should research” he said adding that Kabaka was fed on ill advice about the on lost counties of Bugangaizi and Buyaga
Makubuya talked of talking the truth. These counties where Bunyoro counties and there was no debate about that. Buganda had already got Buruli, Singo, Bugerere, and Buwekula. They should have left Bugangaizi and Buyaga to go back to Bunyoro
