Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The Kaliro District chairperson has embarked on a plan to defuse a 15-year-old feud between Kyabazinga William Gabula Nadiope IV and Prince Edward Columbus Wambuzi.<\/b><\/p>\n

Mr Elijah Kagoda Dhikusooka says the plan is intended to fashion a united Busoga. This comes against the backdrop of some deep scars. Then Prince Gabula of Bugabula chiefdom in Kamuli District and Prince Wambuzi of Bulamogi chiefdom in Kaliro District fell out in 2008 when a section of Busoga loyalists asked the latter to ascend to the throne shortly after the death of his father, Kyabazinga Henry Wako Muloki. This was, however, rebuffed by Prince Gabula\u2019s camp that contended he was the rightful monarch, precipitating tensions over the kyabazingaship.<\/p>\n

The tensions only subsided in 2014 when then Speaker of Parliament, Ms Rebecca Kadaga, sought President Museveni\u2019s intervention. The intervention culminated in Busoga\u2019s 11 hereditary royal chiefs electing Prince Gabula on August 23, 2014 before he was crowned as substantive Kyabazinga on September 13 that same year.<\/p>\n

Mr Kagoda says he is interested in a united Busoga because he has a \u201cvery strong and firm history\u201d of the former Kyabazinga, the late Muloki.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt that time, I was a youth leader, and we were moving throughout Busoga. There is no area in Busoga that has never received the late Muloki,\u201d he says. He adds that he equally had a strong relationship with the late Prof Nadiope Gabula \u201cwho is the father of the present Kyabazinga.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Kagoda says he moved together with Prof Gabula when he assumed the office of junior Tourism minister.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo now, I am using that knowledge and history to mobilise the rest of the Balamogi to appreciate that Busoga has 11 chiefdoms and Zibondo (Wambuzi) is one of the 11 chiefs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other hereditary chiefdoms include Kigulu, Luuka, Bukono, Busiki, Bugweri, Bukooli, Bunya, Bunyole and Butembe, each with their own chiefs.<\/p>\n

Busoga Kingdom attorney general Alex Luganda says this perceived kyabazinga-Kaliro rivalry is a topic that is always discussed in hushed tones, but Mr Kagoda has succeeded in lifting the veil.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has openly discussed unity and the need to work together. I think all institutions need to work like that,\u201d Mr Luganda reckons.<\/p>\n

Progress<\/b><\/p>\n

Mr Kagoda says the division is not real because the people of Kaliro have been moving to Kamuli. There have been intermarriages and a shared business bond. He says his engagement to see that Bulamogi works with the rest of the kingdom has also seen the people of Kaliro accept whatever comes from the Kyabazingaship, which wasn\u2019t the case before.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the Covid-19 pandemic, the kyabazingaship sent maize flour (posho) to Kaliro District, but it was rejected. However, last year, when 1,000 hand hoes were sent, they were well-received by the people of Kaliro, and they are demanding more 10,000 hoes from the Kyabazinga,\u201d Mr Kagoda reveals.<\/p>\n

Mr Kagoda further explains that Ms Kadaga, now the First Deputy Prime Minister, who doubles as the Kamuli District Woman lawmaker, is also being well-received in Kaliro District.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor 10 years, Ms Kadaga couldn\u2019t step into Kaliro District, she had been maligned as the one who took the lead in \u2018hijacking\u2019 the kyabazingaship,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

He adds: \u201cBut she has visited Kaliro District three times and thousands of people have turned up.\u201d<\/p>\n

The speaker of the Busoga Lukiiko (parliament), Mr George Mutyabule, says the storm over the kyabazingaship has calmed down. He further explains that by the end of this year, the kingdom has been charged with mobilising resources to renovate Prince Wambuzi\u2019s Palace in Bulamogi chiefdom as a heritage site and \u201cin recognition of the brotherhood and harmony amongst the 11 hereditary chiefdoms.\u201d<\/p>\n

Subjects speak out <\/b><\/p>\n

Mr Yusuf Kisira, an educationist from Bulamogi, says the chiefdom lost valuable services for some years after some selfish individuals tried to drag it into resistance.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are talking of connectivity and bargaining power. We need the Kaliro-Kamuli road tarmacked so that we cross to Kampala through Kayunga. So, we can\u2019t afford to lose the Kyabazinga as our father and voice. It is a family and as usual, family differences come, but are sorted out,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Ms Ruth Nabirye, a resident of Kagulu where the oracles and rituals are done, says they work together with Balamogi from Nawaikoke, and therefore, issues of leadership have been overtaken by events.<\/p>\n

She adds: \u201cNawaikoke in Bulamogi, Irundu and Kagulu in Bugabula remained business partners; the few who had smuggled the Kamuli-Kaliro rivalry into Busoga Kingdom affairs are now silent and ashamed because blood will always be thicker than water.\u201d<\/p>\n
