Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Uganda\u2019s largest traditional kingdom Friday responded to critical remarks made by the country\u2019s judiciary chief following the March 20 death of Parliament Speaker Jacob Oulanyah.<\/p>\n

During a vigil at Oulanyah\u2019s home in Kampala on Tuesday, Chief Justice (CJ) Alfonse Owiny-Dollo said Buganda should rein in some of its \u201cwicked people\u2026lumpens\u201d to rescue the region from falling into an \u201cabyss\u201d, sparking outrage and condemnation.<\/p>\n

Chief Justice asks Buganda to stop attacks by \u2018lumpens\u2019<\/p>\n

His remarks were premised on a demonstration staged by a section of Opposition National Unity Platform (NUP) supporters against the admission of the Speaker in Seattle, capital of Washington state.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe urge members of the public, including leaders at all levels, to preserve the dignity of the deceased by avoiding unfounded statements,\u201d Buganda Kingdom Prime Minister, Charles Peter Mayiga, has said.<\/p>\n

In a Friday morning statement, Mr Mayiga responded warning that such remarks only risked triggering \u201cunwarranted debates thereby causing more grief to the deceased\u2019s family, friends, colleagues and the entire country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Buganda has also dismissed claims pushed by CJ Dollo that its cultural leader was transported to Germany for medication using a presidential jet and public funds.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the Kabaka flew to Germany in August, 2021, he did not fly by the presidential jet, but by KLM Airlines,\u201d Mr Mayiga clarified.<\/p>\n

All through Thursday, tensions escalated as social media flooded with messages calling out the CJ Dollo.<\/p>\n

But according to Mr Mayiga, his kingdom that has over 10 million of Uganda\u2019s 44million people is open to maintaining ties with the Acholi ethnicity.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe of the current generation, are proud of that bond and are keen to maintain historic and brotherly ties,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

In a veiled message, Buganda is also urging leaders to mirror Oulanyah by \u201cputting their faith in facts and sharpening arguments rather than raising voices.\u201d<\/p>\n
