Following the publication of a photograph of a woman who the editorial team of the New Vision Group believed at the time to be the mother of the new born Buganda prince, Richard Semakookiro, the Kabaka of Buganda Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II has asked all people in Uganda and across the world to stop the talk on the new born prince.

Speaking through his Katikkiro (prime minister), Eng. John Baptist Walusimbi, the Kabaka said that the full details about the new born prince and its mother would be revealed at the right time.

The Kabaka says that since the Katikkiro announced the birth of the new prince, several media houses, radio panelists and people on social networks like facebook have written literature and uttered statements that belittle the traditions, norms and virtues ofBugandakingdom. The Kabaka says that although he is a king a remains an individual who has a right to privacy. He says that it is improper for news publications like the New Vision, Bukedde Newspaper, Bukedde TV and all their sister organisations to write lies and belittling stories about the Kingdom of Buganda and the royal family in Buganda.

On January 24, 2012 the Chief Executive Officer of the New Vision Group, Robert Kabushenga authorised the publication of a photograph of a woman, and stated that she was the mother of Prince Richard Ssemakookiro.

Kabushenga apologised to the audiences across the country and the world at large for the mistake and regreted any inconveniences caused to the woman in the picture.

He stated that this was an error of judgment for which he took full responsibility. The Kabaka through his Katikkiro has said that all the information the New Vision and her sister media houses have been publishing concerning the looks of the mother of prince Semakookiro are false.

Several Ugandans especially the people of Buganda have been so inquisitive regarding details of Prince Ssemakokiro, and his mother Rose Nansikombi.

According to the source, Semakokiro and his mother will return to Uganda soon but still the place where they will be residing will not be open to the public until all the rituals are performed on the mother and the child.

 The Katikkiro of Buganda John Baptist Walusimbi announced the birth of Ssemakookiro a couple of weeks back. The six-month-old prince was named Semakokiro after the 27th King of Buganda, Wasajja Ssemakookiro Nabbunga, who reigned the kingdom from 1797 – 1814. According toBugandatraditions, a prince expecting to take over the throne is not supposed to stay inside the palace. He is supposed to grow up like any other child.
