I like your history of buganda thanks but would you look for one of the books which was written by John Speke about Uganda I saw it one time in Brixton library but when I went back I never got it let me know if you ever get it thank ❤
You are welcome Annet. Okay, great. I will check it out.
➡️ Point to NOTE: The problem Uganda has faced is that, whoever comes to governance and sits in the high offices in Kampala, starts to think and to conjure up, how he can bring his fellow tribesmen, and they Rule over the rest of Ugandans, permanently, which is a very impossible task, anyway‼️
Failing to understand and to accept that, it's a matter of being able to CO-EXIST Peacefully, as neighbouring tribes or nations, coming together to foster progress and development of our regions, with joint effort.
>>> in other words, LEARNING to be CIVIL.
Since independence, and more so, since 1966, Uganda has been plagued by a barrage of quite UNCIVILIZED so called life-time Presidents. __up to Now, wielding guns❗
Savages Harbouring an archaic mentality.💙😩
chanjo4549 you have been fed with alot of lies that suites the interest of the people who were bend to destroy the country.
What happened in 1966 was as a result of disrespect to the 1964 referendum which was a constitutional demand. The late Kabaka of Buganda Mutesa II plunged the country into the political turmoil we are experiencing to date.
Unfortunately those who were presence at that time and withnessed the events right from 1964 chose to lie than tell the truth that Buganda king then was wrong. The alliance between Kabaka Yeka and UPC collapsed because Kabaka Mutesa II refused to acknowledge and respect the 1964 referendum.
Instead it was late Dr Obote who was blamed just because the rest of the political elites who came from Buganda were the one who blamed Dr Obote. They even accused him of killing Baganda yet when the government of UPC was overthrown by Amin in 1971, the same Baganda failed to take Dr Obote to the court. Instead they (Baganda) elites, ran away from the lies they were puking around about Obote.
Up to today the same people still lie that president Obote wanted to cling onto power. They even lied that the 1980 election was rigged. After the government of late Dr Obote was toppled in 1985, the same Baganda ran away from their lies of "1980 election was rigged."
Later own they started talking about human right violation by late president Obote in 1980s again after 1985 coup not a single person from Buganda region dare to take the late president Obote to the court. Not even Museveni who was fighting in Luwero claiming Obote rigged the 1980 election. He could not take the late prsident Obote to the court.
So there was no leader who wanted to cling to power especially Dr Obote. All the problem Uganda had was coming from Buganda politics which was, them and the rest of Ugandans.
Am a student but I always under perform history wat shud I do😢😢
Ooh, that's sad, you can call me and i see how best i can advise on effective practical steps that can be taken in the circumstances.
Its unjust to say historically that Amin attacked de kabaka palace, rather he was ordered by Obote, who was then de Chief of Staff and Amin was a commander of UA, so Amin cldnt just take action without an order fro above. However, de truth was de police was first sent to arrest Kabaka who answered with fire arms, killing many police men, after 3 days of fighting, de police was pulled back and hence de army was ordered to move in Lubiri Palace which forced de Kabala out into exile, after which Obote declared Uganda as a republic which is up to date!
Intresting. Good view. It's a fact that Amin attacked the palace on Obote's orders. Thanks.
@@MutyabaConrad, the late president Obote was the leader of government. He was the one who received the instrument of power and had the responsibility to protect and defend the country.
Unfortunately Kabaka Mutesa II as ceremonial president thought he was above the law. This is why on the eve of the referendum of 1964 him (the kabaka) and his team went to the lost counties and 7 Banyoro living in one of the lost counties were killed by Kabaka Mutesa team. Was that lawful or not?
@@thelies-uganda7096 Any killing not sanctioned by an order of court or executed not in self defence, is truly unlawful.
@@MutyabaConrad yes is true. When the Kingdom of Buganda started attack in and around Kampala against government installation was that sactioned by the court?
Do not forget that a government have the right to defend the country when it is under attack and can seek for court sanctioning later after defending the life of the citizens which was at risk.
The leader of government in 1960s was Obote not Mutesa II. Even today if any attack is started by any person or group against the NRA/M government, it first make sure the citizens are secure by sending in troops to stop any madness being started by that group.
Late Kabaka Mutesa took the law in his hand yet he was only a ceremonial president not executive prime minister with executive power like in Britain. Do not also forget that Kabaka Mutesa II was not the King of Uganda but only for Buganda as a a tribe.
Mr. Mutyaba, you stated that 'Kabaka was the President'. Could you please enlighten the listeners as to how Mutesa was able to occupy two leadership positions: 1, as a king (kabaka) and 2, as a president, at the same time?
Obote & UPC reached a deal with Kabaka Mutesa to support his election to the presidency of Uganda. In a session of Parliament on 4th October 1963, Kabaka Muteesa was elected president via secret ballot with the support of over two thirds of the members. In 1964 this coalition collapsed due to the disagreements that arose between the two. On the other hand, the position of the Kabaka is acquired through a blood line, by the time the Kabaka became president he was already a king & he stayed king until his death. Contact me for any further details.
My understanding is that kingdoms do not run in tandem with Republic. A monarchy system is headed by a king who reigns over a kingdom, whereas a Republic is headed by a democratically elected President. So, based on my earlier question above, are you saying that Ugandan members of parliament secretly appointed Mutes to hold two leadership positions: a king and a president at the same time; making him the head of the Kingdom as well as the head of the Republic Uganda?
Kindly elaborate on the roles of the cultural leaders as President in relation to the role //office of the Prime Minister of the country Uganda with reference to the prevailing constitution of Uganda at the time.
@@lilliannabuduwa9168 hello Lilian. Constitutional law wholistically needs detailed explanation which I may not be able to do by text alone. Kindly contact me by call.
Mbu Shift from the constitution "for" uganda to the constitution "of" uganda
I blame all this on the British they didn't specify weather uganda will be a monarch or a Republic how could two systems operate among Africans the way they want authority,.
History repeats itself!
Indeed. It often does.
Buganda was conquered by uganda forcefully. And we are still conquered people
what did you want the late president Obote do when attacks on government installations were coming from Lubiri?
I am sorry you are feeding the public on lots of falsehoods
There is no where in the 1962 constitution where Baganda is smdescribed as an independent state
As for the lost counties the 1962 constitution required than a referebdum be held within 2 years after independence
When you chose to reach out to inform people, do your research well
Please don't be sorry for the lack of proper comprehension of legal knowledge. Simply avoid quoting statements out of context. Kindly Refer to the following texts: "Uganda, the crisis of confidence by A.M Kirunda kivejinja" & "political & constitution history of Uganda by prof. George William Kanyeihamba"
Conrad Mutyaba the video is full of lies and is just a one sided opinion. In the video you only blamed the late president Obote who received the instrument of power from the British. Kabaka Mutesa II from 1963 became the ceremonial president not the executive president.
Unfortunately, because the capital city of Uganda has been and is still in his Kingdom, Mutesa II chose to fight the UPC government. All what Obote did was to protect, defend and upheld the constitution of Uganda untill after the 1964 rerendrum where Kabaka Mutesa II disrepected the 1962 constitution of Uganda.
The late president Obote did not attack the Kabaka of Buganda or his palace, it was the Kabaka of Buganda and his militia who started attacking government installations in and around Kampala in order to drive the government of Uganda out of Buganda.
Had the late Kabaka of Buganda respected the 1964 referendum result, the 1966 crisis would not have happened. Also there were four lost counties not two. The counties were Singo, Buwekula, Buyaga and Bugangazie. Out of the four lost counties Buyaga and Bugangazie voted to return to Bunyoro Kingdom while Singo and Buwekula voted to remain part of Buganda. The Kingdom of Bunyoro who were robbed of their counties by the Baganda and British during the war, did not kicked dust about the two counties voting to remaing part of Buganda. It was Buganda, the thief who chose to kicked dust by fighting late president Obote.
This was a democratic process which any meaningfull leader with respect for the rights of the citizens of the country would have respected. If Kabaka Mutesa II was not satisfied with the outcome of the 1964 rerendum, the court was there. Why did Buganda kingdom avoided the court and started war against the government of Uganda lead by the UPC?
The samething happened in 1980s when instead of going to the court after claiming that the 1980 election was rigged, the NRA/M lead by Yoweri Museveni and supported by the Baganda and their Kingdom fought the UPC untill they took over power. So Buganda has been sceeming right from 1960s to take over power from Obote not matter what.
This is why Opolot was dismissed by Obote because he colluded by the ceremonial president of Buganda to take power from Obote. This was the first time the talks about, "uncoordinated movement of troops started."
The late president Obote's fault was only to defend the country and the constitution of Uganda. Stop spreading lies just because you were told. If you think Obote had bad intention against Mutesa then you are wrong. It was Mutesa who you said despised late president Obote. If that was so, don't you think it was Mutesa II who actually was fighting Obote first using Ibingira, then Ochieng and later Opolot?
About the gold scandle, why Uganda parliament be the one to come out with such claim when Congo, now Dr Congo did not say anything? Was this not a political witch-hunting by those of Mengo and some politicians from Buganda region? Why should Ochieng, a KY member of parliament be the one to come with the accussation against Amin and later Obote? Were DP MPs not in parliament at that time?
The late president Obote did what he did because he was the one in the custodian of the instrument of power and the defacto leader of Uganda with executive power. This why despite all the accussation labled against him (Obote) no Muganda could take him to the court.
Discussions are best on the law as is or was & the law doesn't lie. Its simply, reason free from passion. Please help the viewers point out specifically with researched authority what the lies in the video are. I will be glad to examine, discuss & enlighten you more about them. Thank you.
@@MutyabaConrad Yes, discussions are best on the law but, I am not a lawyer neither am I a student of law. But what I know is that, any government in power legal or illegal have the obligation to protect and defend the country and the citizens of that country. This is what the late president Obote did in 1960s and in 198s. This is why the accusers both of 1960s and 1980s could not take the late president to any court. The same way Sudan and Egypt took their former presidents to the court.
The 1966 Kabaka Crisis was not because of a disagreement between late President Obote and Kabaka Mutesa II as you want to portray.
Barungi in his book (Pal. Demo in Uganda) p.118: "It was no wonder then that the holding of a referendum in the two counties of Buyaga and Bugangazie played a big part in the collapse of the alliance (UPC/KY).
@@MutyabaConrad in the same book the auther went on to say that: It was also one of the reasons that drew the Mengo clique and its supporters closer to the group within UPC that was scheming against the Prime Minister's (Obote) leadership.
This is a clear indication that late president Obote had not problem with Buganda or Buganda Kingdom. Instead it was the Kingdom fighting very hard to see that power is taken away from Obote who as prime minister. Why then should late President Obote be accused of all what he dead as head of government?
@@MutyabaConrad the same writer went on to day that: It was argued that if the political leadership in Mengo had any respect for the county's (1962) constitution and other public institutions like the High Court, the events of 1966 might not have taken place."
This shows that, even the attack on the Palace of Kabaka Mutesa II was not the the intention of the Executive prime minister. Instead is was Buganda Kingdom trying to grabb power from the prime Minister who started the attack in and around Kampala. The UPC government headed by late president Obote (Executive Prime minister then) only used the constitutional right to defend and protect the country and her citizens from internal attack started by Kabaka Mutesa II and his kingdom apoligist.
@@MutyabaConrad in the 1962 constitution, article 26. (1). a, b, c, d, 2, 3, 4 and 5.(a) spoke about the 1964 referendum. The referendum was not something the UPC president and prime minister of Uganda came up with from no where. If Mengo was not satisfied with outcome of the referendum, the court was there. But had the king of Buganda any respect for the court of Uganda? No.
The attack on the Kabaka Palace was started by the Kingdom of Buganda when there was fire arms coming from Liburi attacking police post and other government installations. It is foolish to blame the late president of Uganda (Obote) what ever he did which to me was constitutional.
