{UAH} LET US SAVE THE CHURCH OUR PARTISAN POLITICS

Buganda Katikkiro Peter Mayiga used Christmas Mass at Lubaga Cathedral to announce Kabaka Mutebi's plans for January, notably visiting Kayunga District, commonly known by its county name in Buganda, Bugerere. This is still a sensitive matter, which raises different emotions among different people. Mayiga has other fora where to announce this, including the kingdom's radio station. Please save us this. Most Catholics in Uganda regard Lubaga as the seat of the Church, despite the autonomy of each province. We therefore should not use it as a platform for Buganda Kingdom matters. Mmengo matters as a class question as were the Bastille in pre-Revolution France. At national level, our Bastille is the Parliament and its larger environs.  Ugandans should understand this reality in that context.
