Mengo has always dismissed the claim.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, Bunyala chiefdom premier Rev Wilson Galimaka accused Buganda Kingdom of trying to \u201csubvert our mighty cultural institution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFourteen days ago, Kawuki made an unofficial visit to our kingdom. During his visit, he reached our official headquarters in Ntenjeru where he attended an informal function for the installation of Ssemugooma,\u201d the Rev Galimaka told journalists.<\/p>\n<p>Rev Galimaka, who was flanked by a host of the ssabanyala\u2019s ministers, denounced Kawuki\u2019s actions saying: \u201cSsemugooma was given a spear and shield to confront and eliminate those opposing Mengo\u2019s interests, and these events reveal Buganda\u2019s revived ambition to annex the Bunyala kingdom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rev Galimaka emphasized that the independence of Banyala, a recognized tribe in Uganda, is \u201cunder threat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe constitution mandates that each tribe should have a leader which we have and we shall not tolerate Buganda\u2019s attempts to play Big brother role over us,\u201d Rev Galimaka noted.<\/p>\n<p>On his part, Kawuki insisted that the Banyala are under Buganda Kingdom and the kabaka.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople are misinterpreting the 2013 memorandum of understanding that was signed between Mengo and government. As Mengo, we recognize the nnamuyonjo as the leader of the Banyala and not the ssabanyala,\u201d Kawuki added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Uganda Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
