Following intelligence reports that sections of the Batwa, Bamba and Babwisi were planning to kill the Rwenzururu king (Kabaka), Charles Mumbere, the security has been beefed up in Kasese town council and around his palace.

Rwenzururu King, Charles Wesly Iremangoma

It is said that , the Batwa, Babwisi and Bamba ethnic tribes don’t subscribe/ recognise Mumbere as their King. These groups of people have been protesting against Mumbere’s leadership for along time. They accuse Mumbere of buildings shrines in worship of his small god widely known as Satan.

The security reports indicate that the three ethnic tribes who do not subscribe to the Rwenzururu Kingdom want to attack Mumbere’s palace in Kirindi Trading Centre, Kirindi Parish,BusaruSub-county and they kill him from there.

The people of Kasese and Bundibugyo are on tension now; every person fears for his/her life. The ministers in charge of cultures have already held crisis meeting over the matter.

Every tribe in Mumbere’s kingdom has its own traditional values, virtues and norms and therefore they don’t pay allegiance to Rwenzururu Kingdom though they share the same names.

Sources say that the tension is being perpetuated by prominent people in government who don’t want Rwenzururu to get a king.

But the Kampala Metropolitan police commander, Felix Kaweesi says that the police have not received any notification from Col Kiiza Besigye or FDC.

Sources in police say that even if Besigye and FDC notifies police their rally can not be permitted because the organisers are part of the banned Activists for Change (A4C) and For God and My Country (4GC) groups.

However the Police have deployed heavily in areas of Namasuba, Zanna and the nearby areas to make sure that the Attorney General’s declaration of unlawful society is enforced.

In fact many members of opposition who have attended political gatherings that have not been cleared by Uganda police have ended up in jail or tortured.

The Inspector General of Police Maj. Gen. Kale Kayihura has now instructed all opposition members intending to hold political rallies at Kalolo airstrip to first get clearance from the president’s office.

The MP for Masaka Central Mathias Mpuuga has confirmed that he has got a letter from Kayihura halting all political gatherings taking place at Kololo (Kampala) Airstrip unless the president’s office as cleared such functions.

Mpuuga however asks how the president’s office will clear a political rally that is going to expose the government’s wrongs.
