LUGANDA (English version at the bottom)
Ba nnyabo ne ba ssebo, nina essanyu okuddamu okubabuliira ku birowoozo byange era Katonda yebale okubakuuma. Naffe gyetuli e Kyaddondo tukola mirimu gya Ssaabasajja. Ensonga gyembaletedde leero nkulu ddala. Ye’nsonga ekwata ku Buganda byeyinza okufuna mu kulonda kw’ebyobufuzi bya Uganda okujja mu 2016. Ensoga y’okulonda kuno esaasaanidde eggwanga lyaffe Buganda awamu n’ensi Uganda okutwalira awamu.
Buli muna byabufuzi Omuganda, naddala ababadde bakiika mu palamenti kati, alina omu ku besimbyeewo ku bwa President gwawaana nti yasinga abalala era yajja okusembeza ensonga za Buganda kulusegere okusinga abalala. Era buli omu bwaaba ayogera ku muntu we gw’awagira, afuuba okumatiza Abaganda nti omuntu we alwanilira, Buganda ebeere mumbeera ennungi. Tebannyonyola bisingawo.
Ekyewunyisa, bangi ku bannabyabufuzi Abaganda baava mu kuweereza Mengo mu Gavumenti ya Kabaka nebesogga mu palamenti ya Uganda. Abamu kubo baava ku ddaala lya bwa Minisita ate abalala nga baali bakungu, bonna nebalekulira okwesogga ebyobufuzi bya Uganda. Ne kumulundi guno, abakiise bangi mu Lukiiko lwa Buganda basazeewo okwesogga olwokaano lw’ebyobufuzi bya Uganda by’okulonda kwa 2016. Era Katikkiro yabasaba balekulire okuva mu Lukiiko lwa Buganda nga tebannaba kwesimbawo mu bya bufuzi bya Uganda. Wabula ate Katikkiro Mayiga yateekawo akatimbe bweyagamba nti ssenga abavudde mu Lukiiko lwa Buganda balemwa kuyitamu mu kalulu ka Uganda, basobola “okukomawo mu Lukiiko, okuteseeza abantu ba Kabaka, nga bayita mu makubo buli omu jeyayita okuluyingiira” amasooka. Teyanyonnyola makubo ago.
Ababaka bangi Olukiiko lwa Buganda balekulidde nga besigama ku kulungamya kwa Katikkiro Mayiga era bangi gyebali kati bategeeza Abaganda nti bazze kulwanilira Kabaka ne Buganda, naye tabakoona ku bya Federo. Era kirowoozebwa nti bangi ku bo Abaganda bajja kubayiira obululu era abamu bafune n’obuwanguzi, yogayoga mu palamenti. Naye okusinziira ku byafaayo bya bannabyabufuzi Abaganda abayitira e Mengo okuyingira mu palamenti, twetegeke okubawulira nga bateesa nnyo ku bintu ebitaliimu nsonga za Buganda enkulu ennyo nga Federo, ekibba ttaka oba embeera ya Kabaka. Ababadde mu palamenti kati, tusinze kubawulira mu kuteesa ku nsonga nga mateeka agakugira enkungaana z’ebyobufuzi, mafuta g’eBunyoro, nvunza z’eBusoga, nodding disease mu mambuka ga Uganda, kweyongeza misaala, nensonga nyingi endala ezisinga okukwaata ku bitundu ebilara.
Wano wensabira munyambeko okuddamu ekibuuzo kino. Ba na byabufuzi Abaganda, naddala abayingira mu palamenti ya Uganda, bafuba kulwanirira Buganda oba bintundu bya Uganda ebilala?
Bulijjo, omukozi ekimuvirako okulekulira omulimu aba afunyeyo ogusingako okusasula obulungi oba ogumuwa embeera eyeyagaza okusinga eyo mwabadde akolera. Wembuliza nate nti, abakungu ba Kabaka ne ba minisita okulekulira emirimo gy’abwe e Mengo bagende mu by’obufuzi bya Uganda baba tabanoonya ssente oba kwewonya mbeera eri e Mengo?
Nga maliriza, ba nnyabo ne ba ssebo mbasaba mwekeneenye ebibuuzo bino wammanga, era mugezeeko okubyeddiramu.
Ssenga abantu ba Ssaabasajja Kabaka abawera bawaayo akaseera okuteesa, n’okuwa ebirowoozo ku bibuuzo nga bino, ndowooza nti tujja kusobola okuzimba Buganda nate, eleme okubeera nga ekidiba omunaabirwa abalwadde ba maaso, nga buli awona yadduka.
ENGLISH
Are Baganda politicians in Uganda fighting for Buganda or other areas?
Ladies and gentlemen I am happy to share my thoughts with you again and I thank God for taking care of you. We also fine here in Kyaddondo County (of Buganda) working in service of Ssaabasajja. My topic of discussion today is quite important. It is about what Buganda can benefit from the Uganda elections of 2016. The subject of these elections is dominating discussion throughout our nation Buganda and across Uganda.
Each Muganda politician, especially those who are currently in parliament, supports one of the three major presidential candidates and claims that his or her candidate is the best and will give bigger attention to Buganda’s concerns than the others. And when each one speaks about the candidate he or she is promoting, they try to convince Baganda that the candidate is fighting for Buganda to get a better status. They never give more details.
Surprisingly, many Baganda politicians who have been in the Uganda parliament joined it after servicing in the Kabaka’s Government at Mengo. Some of them were ministers and others officers, and they all resigned to enter Uganda politics. Even this time, many members of the Buganda Lukiiko have decided to enter Uganda politics and compete in the 2016 elections. And the Katikkiro asked them to first officially resign from the Lukiiko. But at the time, the Katikkiro made things complicated when he said that if those who leave the Lukiiko lose in the Uganda election, they can “return to the Lukiiko following the same path that brought each one to the Lukiiko” in the beginning. He did not explain the paths.
Many members of Buganda Lukiiko have followed the guidance of Katikkiro Mayiga and resigned and they are telling Baganda in their areas that they have come to fight for Kabaka and Buganda, but not Federo. However it is thought that many Baganda will still vote to these people and some of them will win. However, looking at the history of politicians who use Mengo to enter parliament, we should be ready to hear these ones get there and debate only on issue that are not connected to key Buganda issues like Federo, land grabbing or Kabaka’s welfare. We have heard the ones who have just been in parliament mostly talk about things like laws against political meetings, Bunyoro’s oil, jiggers in Busoga, nodding disease in the North, raising MP salaries and other topics concerning other parts of Uganda.
This where I ask for your help to answer this question. Do Baganda politicians, especially those who go to the Uganda parliament, interested in fighting for Buganda or for other parts of Uganda?
Usually, a worker resigns from a job because he got one which pays more or gives other better conditions than the present one. That is why I ask, when Kabaka’s officials and ministers resign from Mengo and join Uganda politics are they not looking for money or trying to get away from the conditions in Mengo?
As I conclude, ladies and gentlemen I request you to look at the questions below and think about how you would answer them:
If enough of Ssaabasajja Kabaka’s men and women take time to discuss and give ideas on questions like these, I think that we can be able to rebuild Buganda so that it stops being like a water pond where blind people go to was their eyes and every one who starts to see runs away.
Long Live Ssabassajja.
