Kyannaku ensonga z’ettaka okubaamu obukyayi n’ettima



Akaseera ke tulimu kazibu ddala mu byafaayo bya Buganda.



Naye eng’ombo bannaddiini Abaminsane gye baatuwa nti ‘Katonda n’Obuganda, omwoyo gumu n’emmeeme emu’ ejja kutuyamba okuwangula olutalo lw’ettaka!



Abaganda teri ateekwa kubanenya nga balwanirira ennono n’obuwangwa bwabwe ebiri mu makulu g’ettaka. Kye tuliko kya bwannannyini era ne Ssemateeka tavumirirangako nnono, buwangwa n’obwannannyini !



Bino byonna byaliwo mu Buganda nga Uganda n’ebibiina byonna nga mw’otwalidde ne NRM tebinnabaawo. Kabaka, Mmengo, Abaganda ne bannaffe abatali Baganda abatulumirwa mu kino batuufu mu kye bakola.



Kituufu Mmengo eddizibwe obuyinza obumala ku by’ettaka ne ku by’okukulaakulanya Buganda. Kino kiyambe okuleeta entabagana wakati wa bannannyini ttaka n’abebibanja ate n’okuyamba Buganda n’abantu baayo bonna okukulaakulana.



Ggwe ate oba y’ebonyeebonye n’entalo ezizze zibaawo ku lw’obulungi bw’okununula Uganda okugiggya mu ffugabbi era ne yeekakasa nga bw’esobola okuba ekyonziira ku lwa Uganda, awo ate lwaki teyongerwa ku buyinza eyambe ku kutumbula Uganda ?



Eby’okutiisatiisa Mmengo oba Abaganda ku nsonga y’ettaka bikyamu nnyo! Totiisatiiisa oli ng’ali ku mulamwa gw’ekituufu ate nga kikye kya nnono na buwangwa.



Kabaka taba mukyamu okwekubiira ku bantu be, gavumenti ye n’olukiiko lwe nga kimanyiddwa bulungi nti na bali bwe bagasimbaganye nabo bagenda kwebuuza ku gavumenti yaabwe kko n’olukiiko lw’eggwanga?



Olukiiko luno luli mu mateeka matuufu ng’ekintu ekitaasa obuwangwa era guno gwe mulamwa gw’Olukiiko lwa Buganda. Mulimu gwa Palamenti okuwuliriza Olukiiko kubanga Palamenti temanyi bulungi byannono na buwangwa bwa Buganda ng’Olukiiko lwa Buganda bwe lubimanyi.



Bino ebiriwo ku by’ettaka si byabufuzi nti biriwo kutabulatabula wabula bya bwannannyini mu bw’obuntu ne mu buwangwa. Abantu baddembe okulwanirira ebyabwe era mu kukola kino NRM eba nkyamu okugamba nti bagirwanyisa.



Bano abali ku kakiiko akatangaaza ku by’ettaka be bantu Uganda yonna b’emanyi nga beesimbu mu kulwanirira Bannayuganda mu buli kintu.



Y’ensonga ne bannaffe bangi abatali Baganda kwe basinziira okusemba ebyogerwa abantu bano be bamanyi ng’ab’amazima. NRM ky’esaanye okukola kwe kubawuliriza n’okubeebuuzaako mu kifo ky’okugezaako okubatwala ng’abalabe abagivuganya.

NRM yeetaaga Buganda kubanga awatali yo teyandibaddewo.



Yandibadde mu bbanga ssinga yali terina buwagizi bwa Baganda munda mu Uganda n’ebweru waayo.



N’olwwekyo tekigasa kumala googera ebintu ebikoona Abaganda oba ebijingirira ebyafaayo oba ensalo za Buganda oba yadde okuggya Buganda ku maapu entongole.



Ensalo za Buganda zirimu ago amasaza gonna agakola Buganda era Buganda g’ezze ezimba ku ntuuyo zaayo. Okukola maapu okutali Buganda kyoleka nga Buganda mpozzi bwe baagala eveewo awo n’eby’ensalo zaayo kko n’ettaka lyayo bidobonkanyizibwe anti olwo biriba tebikyali mu kintu ekiyitibwa Buganda wabula ekiyitibwa amannya amalala.



Awo nga bakutegeeza nti oba oyagala Buganda ginonye gy’eri! Awo nga n’eby’ennono birugenze, kko n’ettaka wamu ne mayiro 9,000.



Olwo ziriba tezikyanoonyezebwa ku maapu ya Buganda wabula nga ziri ku maapu endala ey’abalala abaliba beewagiseewo mu linnya eddala eriridda mu kifo kya Buganda !



Gye buliva ne gye buligenda buli maapu yonna essibwawo, ekwatagana n’enkola (policy) y’ebyobufuzi. Era kino ky’ekigendererwa mu kuggyawo ekigambo Buganda bateekewo ekigambo Central olwo baliba badibizza eggwanga Buganda n’obwakabaka bwalyo, obuwangwa bwalyo nga mwe muli n’ettaka.



Abantu balibasomesanga Central Region sso si Buganda Kingdom. Era eyo Central Region eribanga ya kifuba ku Baganda kubanga erijjirira kumalirawo ddala buli konna akeekuusa ku Buganda!



Abamu tuwulira batandise n’okugamba nti Uganda yali ezzaawo abafuzi ab’ensikirano mbu teyazzaawo Bakabaka. Weebuuze nti wano mu Buganda omufuzi ow’ensikirano y’ani oyo ate atamanyiddwa nga Kabaka?



Ffe abaagala Uganda ne Buganda tulabe nti ettaala eno teggwaamu mafuta kutuzza nate mu nzikiza.

2011 elections to be fought and lost over land

THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX: JOACHIM BUWEMBO



Uganda’s next general elections will be won and lost over land. Of course these days in East Africa, it is prudent when predicting an election outcome to add the assumption that the results announced will be the same as the ballots cast.



The NRM administration has decided to bring the land matter up again and this time it seems to have caught everyone’s attention. Although land was vigorously debated in the Constituent Assembly of 1994-95, the public did not get very concerned. Then came Benedict Mutyaba’s committee in 1998. Again, not many paid attention. But this time, it looks as if the very survival of the nation and individuals depends on the land debate.



Usually when the Executive brings a bill, there is an obvious political gain envisaged. This time, none is obvious from what is written in the bill. But a lot is being imputed, read between the lines and suspected.



Right now it does not seem to matter so much what is in the bill. What seems to matter more is the anxiety over land because of recent events like attempted resettlement of so-called Balaalo, discovery of oil in Bunyoro, government’s hell-bent determination to give away part of Mabira central forest reserve to an investor who stands to earn $500 million first from clearing the wood before planting sugar cane and the search for land in Acholi before the internally displaced people have fully gone back home. If the Executive is surprised at the vehement opposition to its innocent bill, these are some of the facts.



The reasons why almost everyone in Uganda is now keen on land are not hard to see. The 2002 census showed that the North has the fastest population growth rate, followed by the East, while Masaka’s population growth is virtually zero. So land now matters very much to the North, where millions have been living in camps and are now just planning to return home to the only resource they have by virtue of being children of the soil, the land.



In the East, many have also been in camps. In addition, the Eastern settlements are highly mixed in ethnic composition. That is why there have been heightened demands for little districts in the region to cater for different tribal interests. Ugandans in such areas are bound to get very keen on land policy debates as they want to know their entitlements and securities over the little and large plots they may have acquired or are planning to acquire.



In the West, land is very important partly due to the high population densities. In a place like Bushenyi, people got wise to the need to manage land for development and investment a long time ago. What may not be obvious to many is that an average Bushenyi person understands the value and harnessing of land better than their counterpart anywhere else in Uganda. Bushenyi people should make the loudest noise over land policies since they have invested more sweat, time and money in it than the rest of us.



In the Central region, land has become everything especially because of recent debates, which are not the subject of discussion here. In the next election campaigns, the likely trend will be a single, unified stand on the land question, which will be the only question, in Buganda. Here we are talking about 25 to 31 percent of the votes.



In all, the agenda for the 2011 general election has been set. Whoever comes out with the smartest, most just-sounding land policy proposal will carry the day. (Whether they implement it on winning the elction is another mater.) Even if the land bill is passed in the next few weeks, upholding or amending it will be the major subject of the next elections.



In political power terms therefore, the NRM Executive has handed the Opposition groups the perfect, non-tribal rallying point. NRM also has the opportunity to refine and present the land reform proposals to their most attractive form and actually deliver them to the voters as law.



The land issue is not as narrowly tribal as it may be portrayed by some. There has been more blood shed over land in Bunyoro and the North than in Buganda for instance. Nobody in Uganda wants to see their access to land curtailed by perceived outsiders. People who have never bothered when their taxes, loans and grants are stolen will not accept to have their access to land tampered with.



If someone who steals public funds buys ten luxury vehicles, the people somehow do not get angry with him because he did not take the cars from their garage. But when someone inexplicably fences off several hundred acres, people start asking how and why.



This is because with customary land in Uganda, which I am advised is the akenda (disputed 9,000 sq.miles) in Buganda, you always expected it to be there when the time comes for you to need it. If a smart political group designs a comprehensive, clearheaded and just plan for land and sells it to the people, it will win their hearts hands down.

Amagye tegajja kukkiriza bya ttaka lya mayiro 9,000

Tinyefuza ku Palamenti eggulo.

Bya Ahmed Mukiibi



GEN. David Tinyefuza aweze mu palamenti ng’amagye bwe gatajja kukkiriza Mmengo kuzza ggwanga mu kye yayise gasiya w’okuddiza Buganda mayiro akenda.



Yabadde tasalikako musale n’asomera palamenti ebiwandiiko bisatu okusambirira ebya mayiro akenda kwe yagasse maapu eraga Buganda bwe yali ng’endagaano y’olwenda tennakolebwa nga yalina amasaza Kyadondo, Busiro, Gomba, Busujju, Ssese ne Mawokota kyokka n’egenda nga yeekomya ettaka ly’ebitundu ebirala.



“Mmengo boogera ki abo? ‘nonsense (bya bugwagwa), rubbish (gasiya). Tetujja kukkiriza gasiya oyo. Njagala okulabula Mmengo nti amagye gajja kubabetenta…..”, bwe yategeezezza wakati mu kuwakanyizibwa naddala mu babaka abava mu Buganda.



Yabadde mu byambalo by’amagye nga yeenanise enjota n’agamba nti amaanyi g’ayogeza agajja mu katundu 209 aka Konsitityusoni akawa UPDF gy’akikiirira obuyinza okunyweza enkolagana wakati w’amagye n’abantu baabulijjo.



Waabaddewo ababaka abaagezezzaako okumulemesa okwogera ate olwo kwe kukangula ku ddoboozi nti “ ndabula abalina endowooza y’okwefuula ab’ekitalo okusinga Bannayu-ganda abalala n’abalina endo-woozo y’okuleeta ekittabantu nti UPDF ejja kubabetenta.’’



Mu kiseera kino palamenti yonna yabadde ejagaladde ng’ababaka abava mu Buganda bayimiridde baleekana okulemesa Tinyefuza ekyatuusizza Sipiika Edward Ssekandi okukoma ku Tinyefuza nti olulimi lwe yabadde akozesa lukyamu. Terukkirizibwa.



Kyokka Tinyefuza yagenze mu maaso nti olutalo lw’aliko lwa byankyukakyuka ssinziggu era amaliridde okulumaliriza. “ Buvunaanyizibwa bwaffe obuviira ddala mu Konsitityusoni era tumaliridde okutuukiriza misoni eno”.



Okutegeera ebya mayiro 9000, yagambye nti ababaka bateekeddwa okutunulako mu byafaayo. Akavuyo kaaleetebwa bafuzi b’amatwale be yayise emiwulenge abaanyaga ettaka ku bannansangwa ne baligabira Abaganda abaalya mu bannaabwe olukwe. Kwe kulaga nti Kabula, Mawogola, Buddu, Kkooki, Singo, Bugerere, Buruli, Rwemiyaga, Buwekula tegaali masaza ga Buganda wabula Abazungu baagatonera Abaganda olw’okubayamba okulwayisa Bunyoro.



Ababaka Erias Lukwago, Jerome Kaddumukasa, Issa Kikungwe, Matthias Nsubuga, Latif Sebaggala, Mutumba Mudduawulira, Moses Kabuusu, Ibrahim Kaddunabi nabo baavudde mu mbeera nga baagala Sipiika amukomeko.



Kyokka Tinyefuza yayongedde: mpulira abatiisatiisa nti bannannyini ttaka bagenda kusitula olutalo. ‘what a joke’ (eyo mboozi) kubanga bannannyini ttaka abolubatu tebayinza kusobola bukadde na bukadde bw’abantu babulijjo be baludde nga banyigiriza.

Abatwalira amateeka mu ngalo bakangavvulwe



EKIBINJA kya bakanyama abaddukanya essamba y’Omuyindi kyalumbye amaka g’abasenze ababadde balemedde ku ttaka lya mukama waabwe e Bukoba mu ggombolola y’e myanzi mu Mubende ne balwanagana okukkakkana nga ssentebe w’ekyalo bamusse.



Okulwanagana kuno nga tekunnabaawo, abatuuze nabo baazinze ssamba eno ne batemaatema ebisolo n’okusaawa ebirime nga bagamba nti bakooye okubakijjanya nga babagoba mu bibanja byabwe.



Gye buvuddeko, nnannyini ttaka e lwabenge mu Masaka yatutte abajaasi ne bakuba abatuuze amasasi agaalumizza babiri ng’abalanga okugaanira ku ttaka lye yagula.



Ate e Jjokolera mu ggombolola y’e Nangabo, ssentebe yalangiridde mu kuziika omu ku batuuze nga bwe waliwo mutuuze munne eyawadde omugenzi obutwa mu mwenge. Kino kyasaanudde abatuuze ne balumba Muky. Robinah Ndagire gwe baakumyeko omuliro ne bamwokya ng’alaba. Ndagire yasimatusse okufa kubanga ow’ebyokwerinda ku LC I yamutakkuluzza ku batuuze n’amutwala mu ddwaaliro gy’anyigira ebiwundu.



Ebikolwa bino byoleka obumenyi bw’amateeka obukolebwa abantu nga batwalira amateeka mu ngalo.



Poliisi y’evunaanyizibwa ku mateeka naye abantu abamu tebagiroopera olw’obutagibeeramu bwesige ate abalala balowooza nti be bateekwa okulamula ababeera babasobezza.



Eggwanga teriyinza kubeerawo ng’abantu batwalira amateeka mu ngalo bwe batyo. N’olwekyo abakikola bateekwa okukwatibwa bakangavvulwe, ate n’abakulembeze basomese abantu nti kikyamu. Ne Poliisi esse amaanyi ku misango egigirooperwa.
