UGANDA'S FIRST PRESIDENT MADE A HISTORICAL SPEECH ON UGANDA'S INDEPENDENCE DAY AT KOLOLO ON 9TH OCTOBER 1962.
Here it is :
*******************
Fellow Countrymen,
It shall go down in history, that, it was on the 9th October, 1884, when
Ssekabaka Walugembe Muteesa I, the founder of Modern Day Uganda, breathed
his last. Ssekabaka Muteesa I was buried in his palace at Nnabulagala,
Kasubi on 25th October, 1884.
Therefore, I feel both honoured and humbled, to be named after my great
grandfather Ssekabaka Walugembe Muteesa, and also because I have lived till
this day when the British have relinquished power into our hands, after
being under their protection for a period of 68 years.
During that period, we have experienced moments of sadness. However, there
have also been moments of joy. Nevertheless, we thank the good Lord for His
grace, love and, all the efforts made by the Missionaries to develop our
nation and country, Uganda.
Now, that we are independent, I appeal to you all to work with all your
might in whatever you shall do, so as to bring glory to both our kingdoms
and the State of Uganda. Let us not allow our differences in nations,
religion and colour to be a divisive factor among our people.
God Bless Uganda,
Sir Col. Edward Muteesa II
