{UAH} Rwenzururu Kingdom in Shs4b legal fees debt

Frank Mujabi/ Annet Kobby/ John Kwitonda/ Dr Kololo Georges,

See how the pot-bellied outlaw Kayibanda grinds down his victims? He has done this time and again when he wants to break a victim down and get them to kneel and beg. He did it to his right hand man Eriya Kategaya, and to UPC turn-coats like Aggrey Awori. He is now telling King Mumbere who is the boss and expects him to kneel down and cry before him so that he can pull out his white towel of salvation.

The cost of surviving under the M7 military dictatorship is unbearable.
The state commits murder on your people, they detain, and use spend hundreds of millions trying to plead for justice from the murderer state!
Kitalo nnyo!

It is a shame for us to waste energy on petty squabbles while the beast picks one of us everyday while we argue about who is shorter among the short.

Long pre-trial detention of over 150 civilians arrested after Kasese clashes and killings in November 2016 is taking it's toll on families and the Rwenzururu kingdom. It also undermines the chance of having fair trials and observance of the rule of law. More: https://bit.ly/2BP5zvt

Kasese. The chairperson of the Prime Ministerial Commission (PMC), Mr Gad Mbayahi, has said the Obusinga Bwa Rwenzururu Kingdom is indebted to the tune of Shs3.8b stemming from the legal fees that it undertook to save King Charles Mumbere and more than 200 royal guards since the palace was attacked in November 2016.

He said following the arrest of some ministers and the royal guards, the only option by the kingdom was to hire lawyers to battle court cases at a cost that has now become a burden to the institution.

The debt
Mr Elisa Bwambale Kisabu, the owner of the building that housed the Rwenzururu Kingdom offices in Kasese town on Alexander Street, wants more than Shs48m as rent that accumulated since the palace attacks.
"I have been renting my house at Shs2m per month but I want to increase it to Shs3m. I have incurred a lot of losses due to the closure of my house and non-compliance by my tenant," Mr Kisabu said.

Mr Mbayahi said the house was rented by King Mumbere who is now under arrest. However, whether he increases the rent or not, he will not get the money now until government clears them to use the facility.
Both the attacked palace and the sealed administration block remain scenes of crime until the matter is determined in court and the kingdom vehicles have been grounded at Kasese Central Police Station as exhibits.

The demand
The kingdom prime minister wants government to release the vehicles so that they can help in peace building.
He also blamed the delay to set free King Mumbere and 200 of his subjects, on MPs who dragged President Museveni to the International Criminal Court (ICC) over the Kasese palace attack.

"When we met the President after the incident, we agreed that our king be granted bail but he told us that until our MPs withdraw the alleged cases from ICC, King Mumbere will never be pardoned. I wonder why MPs would pretend to be in love with the cultural institution but keep doing things that will keep the king away from his subjects for their political gains," Mr Mbayahi said in an interview with the Daily Monitor.

Flashback
The palace was attacked by security agencies on November 26 and 27, 2016 on grounds that they were hiding agents that had been attacking government positions between 2014 and 2016 in Rwenzori Sub-region.
The attack lasted two days at Mr Mumbere's palace at Kyanzuki cell at the administrative block on Alexander Street and at all royal guard command centres in the district.

Those incidents left Mr Mumbere and more than 200 others arrested and charged on different counts ranging from attempted murder to treason. More than 100 people died, leaving behind hundreds of widows and orphans in the villages.
