Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Katikkiro of the Buganda Charles Peter Mayiga yesterday held a closed-door meeting with two Opposition Members of Parliament Medard Lubega Sseggona and Mathias Mpuuga.<\/b><\/p>\n

The meeting was held at Bulange, Mengo, shortly after the Katikkiro met leaders from Nyendo-Mukungwe and Busiro East constituencies, which Mr Mpuuga and Mr Sseggona respectively represent in Parliament on the National Unity Platform (NUP) party ticket.<\/p>\n

The leaders from the two constituencies bought kits worth Shs10m in support of Kabaka\u2019s Birth Day Run.<\/p>\n

Speaking after the meeting, the Katikkiro said their discussions centred on grooming more leaders by the kingdom.<\/p>\n

He said they also reminisced about their days as former kingdom ministers under Katikkiro John Baptist Walusimbi.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have realised that there is a need to have more leaders who understand the challenges of leadership and as a kingdom, we need to nurture leaders who are responsible. Leaders do not come from heaven but are groomed through different experiences,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Mayiga added that leaders encounter different challenges and when they have a strong background, it helps them to tackle issues with sober minds.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have associations like for the youth (Nkoba Zambogo), which have helped them to become noticeable leaders. Leadership is the ability to find solutions to challenges. People must learn that nurturing helps them to understand each other and resolve problems they encounter together with their subjects and followers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

On his part, Mr Mpuuga said the kingdom should groom more leaders who will defend its interests.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe way Buganda is structured, messages flow from top to bottom, and once His Majesty Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II makes a communication, this message must be relayed by his representatives at all levels to his subjects,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Asked about the political tensions in Masaka that have seen some of his supporters fight with another section of the NUP over the party\u2019s mobilisation strategy, also known as Kunga Uganda, Mr Mpuuga said the wrangling would be handled internally.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe differences are mild and manageable because sometimes they arise out of ignorance, spite, and excitement and they cannot deter our obligation as leaders. They are temporary and cannot obstruct us from our overall agenda of offering leadership to our people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Sseggona echoed the same concerns. \u201cWe have had several leaders who were nurtured by the Buganda Kingdom and they are doing well. We should carry on with the same culture because some time back in Buganda we had people we would look up to as the last resort,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe applauded the Kabaka for the initiative which was dedicated to the fight against HIV\/Aids since he was appointed goodwill ambassador towards this cause. We are very appreciative, \u201che added.<\/p>\n

Background<\/b><\/p>\n

The meeting comes on the backdrop of Mr Mpuuga\u2019s fallout with his party, NUP, over accusations of corruption in Parliament. NUP wants Mr Mpuuga replaced as a commissioner of Parliament over the matter and has since suspended him as party vice chairperson for central Uganda after he refused to heed calls to resign from the former position.<\/p>\n
