Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Buganda Kingdom has warned of a ploy by its enemies to use the health of Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II to destroy the kingdom.A statement issued yesterday by the Kabaka\u2019s press secretary, Mr Sam Dick Kasolo, pointed out \u2018malice and intent to instigate hatred among Kabaka\u2019s officials, especially Katikkiro Charles Peter Mayiga.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a clear discernible plot by those enemies of Buganda to use this opportunity by creating rifts among the people of Buganda and undermining the Kabaka\u2019s officials, especially Katikkiro Mayiga,\u201d Mr Kasolo said.Mr Mayiga has lately been a subject of criticism and ridicule from the people, who have repeatedly questioned his silence when the Kabaka was first reported sick last year.<\/p>\n

However, after images of the Kabaka during the celebrations to mark his 66th birthday on April 13 appeared to show him frail emerged, Mr Mayiga announced that the Kabaka was suffering from an allergy three days later, adding that he was receiving the best care.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to urge you to disregard the rumours on social media that the Kabaka had been poisoned. They are totally wrong, baseless and unfounded. They cause unnecessary anxiety,\u201d Mr Mayiga said in a televised address.In yesterday\u2019s statement issued by Mr Kasolo, the kingdom denied a new round of rumours that the Kabaka had been admitted to Nakasero hospital.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe malicious falsehoods have ranged from an allegation that Kabaka had passed away last year or that he was admitted on emergency basis to Nakasero hospital a few days ago,\u201d Mr Kasolo stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we continue to pray for Kabaka and his long life, there is increasing concern and a need to guard against speculative, false and outrightly malicious allegations circulating on social media,\u201d Mr Kasolo wrote.<\/p>\n

He said the spreaders of such information were enemies of Buganda, adding that the kingdom is still strong.He asked the masses not to contribute to the spread of false information, which he said is intended to cause fear, alarm and undue excitement.Mr Kasolo said it is not only Mr Mayiga who has faced a barrage of attacks but also other senior members of the Royal family, eminent personalities and officials of the Kabaka\u2019s government.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe effort to weaken the kingdom shall not succeed. The disguised concern for the kingdom should not deceive anyone. Falsehoods and malicious allegations are being instigated and spread by people who claim to love and be concerned about the Kabaka, whereas not,\u201d Mr Kasolo said.<\/p>\n
