On November 7, the recently appointed
> 3rd Deputy Katikkiro of Buganda, Mr. Apollo Makubuya took
> advantage of his Thanksgiving prayers, at Namirembe
> Cathedral, to send a message to Ugandans that demands for
> self-determination (Federo) were back on Mengo's
> priority list.

 With Bishop Kityo Luwalira pastoring, and in
> front of the Katikkiro of Buganda, Baganda Clan elders
> (Abataka), Baganda royals, Mr. Makubuya affirmatively
> proclaimed that Buganda was not willing to support anyone
> who was opposed to her right to self-determination through
> federal self-governance. "Buganda shall not stop demanding
> for the power sharing federal system of governance because
> it is the only one that can ensure stability in Buganda and
> Uganda," he said

.At one point he turned to Katikkiro
> Mayiga and said, "Ssebo Katikkiro, kati banabyabufuzi
> abajja mu offisi yo nga banoonya obuwagizi, ojjenga nga
> kumala kubasindikako eno ewaffe kubanga tulina obusobozi
> okumanya webayimiridde ku Federo"

("Mr. Katikkiro, now

​

 when politicians come to your office asking for support, you
> should first send them to my office because we can verify
> their stand on Federo".

Mr. Makubuya's words sounded like
> music to the many Baganda, young and old, who filled the
> Namirembe Cathedral to capacity and wildly cheered in
> appreciation. Some of these traditional Baganda were
> especially excited because this was the second time Mr.

> invited him to close an NRM government sponsored weekend
> workshop which Mengo used to expose newly appointed Buganda
> Youth Council to senior NRM officials (see: Mengo Introduces Newly Appointed
> Buganda Youth Council to Influential NRM Officials).

> When Mr. Makubuya, repeated the same message at Namirembe,

When BugandaWatch investigative

> message together with the recent takeover of Kasubi Tombs
> reconstruction by Buganda Culture minister, Mr. Walusimbi
> Sengendo (see:Kasubi Tombs Nnalinnya Nnamikka
> Rejects Mengo Talk of Taking Buganda to the Top), and
> Katikkiro Mayiga's coming launch of the project to build a
> floating hotel on Kabaka's Lake, the conclusion was that
> major changes in the priorities and powers in Mengo had
> happened.
Until now, Katikkiro Mayiga has had absolute power
> on everything at Mengo, including financials, culture,
> political direction and NRM interaction.

However, it now
> appears that Walusimbi Sengendo is responsible for Kasubi
> Tombs and Makubuya for political policies. Katikkiro Mayiga
> is apparently still in firm control of his Ettofaali program,
> constructing a floating hotel on Kabaka's lake and overall
> administration the Buganda Government.

When his turn came to speak, Katikkiro
> Mayiga graciously congratulated Mr. Makubuya and made it
> clear that he was ready to work with and support him.

However, there was a moment of tension after Mr. Mayiga took
> the microphone; as soon as the Katikkiro started speaking,
> Omulangira (Prince) Kassim Nakibinge Kakungulu got up and
> elegantly walked out of the church. BugandaWatch was unable
> to find any reliable information on what could have caused
> Omulangira Nakibinge to leave before listening to Katikkiro
> Mayiga.

The chief guest at Mr. Makubuya's
