Dear Sabassajja Kabaka of Buganda Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II.

It is with great sorrow that I write today.
I have been told a surreal story about the tourism currently being conducted at your Lubiri palace.
As we all know, after the sad events of 1966 as ordered by Milton Obote, the Buganda palace was turned into a military facility. It became the base for the Malire Mechanized Battalion. Subsequent armies after Amin also utilized the barracks until when it was returned to Buganda.
Today European tourists flock there not because it is a Buganda kingdom cultural venue, but because someone decided to tell unsuspecting visitors that there is a dungeon there where Amin used to torture people. Why are your subjects unscrupulously using my fathers name just to get money?
Any military specialist will tell you that what they are calling a torture chamber, is in fact a former weapons storage bunker built by Amin. The place where ammunition for tanks, artillery, mortar, heavy machine guns, assault rifles, grenades and RPG's were kept.
It is designed with a mountain of sand on top of it. This is a precaution to contain damage in case the bombs accidentally explode from the stores underneath.
I humbly request that you tell your subjects to at least speak truth rather than seek to make money dishonestly by tarnishing my fathers name.
I have been told that even school children are being taken there and fooled about the place. Apparently one of those involved in the scam has even written "someones last words" on the walls, and in red color for added effect. Something that is scientifically impossible if they say such things happened there 40 years ago.
The Uganda Tourist Board (UTB) and The Buganda Tourism Boars hace conjointly created "The Kampala Walk" that takes tourists on a walk around the capital city. And this armoury is said to feature in that tour as "Amin's torture chamber".
Even one tourist who had visited wrote recently that: "Our next major stop was the Empukku, the torture chambers used by Idi Amin during his reign of power from 71-79. As we approached the surprisingly simple but eerily evil cave-like structure, I found myself overwhelmed with grief of the thoughts of all the people who must have died in this very place."
Sincerely Your Highness I hope somebody is making you legitimize this scam unknowingly.
Because all those who created stories about Field Marshal Idi Amin are either seeking for money by first engineering sympathy and sadness, or they are seeking favors from his many enemies. But I don't see what more fame your highness needs in this country.
I also wonder if it makes sense for those behind this to create hate (even with gross falsehoods) rather than building national unity today.
If you crosscheck appropriately, the same weapons bunker design is available in all armies, from the UK to Asia, US and Africa. With possibility for a vehicle to reverse to the stores and offload/upload ammunition easily just like at a hardware factory store, where the slide doors are about a meter from the ground.
The Tanzanian forces, Obote's genocidal UNLA, and the NRA armies also stored ammunition in the facility when they occupied the barracks after President Idi Amin left the country in 1979.
I know that a tourist attraction is an important income generating project. But why do they make the whole Kabaka earn from unsuspecting wazungu tourists by lying in broad daylight about His Excellency President Idi Amin.
Kindly consider discussing this shameful behaviour by some of your subjects on your property.

Kind regards

Hussein Lumumba Amin

PS: Here is a video depicting the true respect my father had for Buganda when he repatriated the body of your highnesses late father Major General Sir Edward Frederick William David Walugembe Mutebi
Luwangula Muteesa II, KBE, Kabaka of Buganda, and accorded him a state burial with full government honors after he passed away in London (1969), allegedly poisoned by Milton Obote.
Also, before she passed away in 1968, my grandmother had treated your royal highnesses family diligently for many years as an experienced traditional herbalist. I would therefore prefer the good between us to prevail: youtube.com/watch?v=G8zQfguKlJg&feature=youtube_gdata_player
