Kattikiro wa Buganda
Luther Martin Nsibirwa
In 1944-45, the British Protectorate Government, wishing to acquire mailo land for the expansion of Makerere Technical College and the establishment of a Cotton Research Station at Kawanda, dared challenge the sacrosanctity of the Uganda Agreement of 1900. The British changed one word of article15 and went on to compulsory acquire mailo land. This amendment required was from public works to public purposes.
This change was very strongly contested and was to lead to the dismissal and deportation of the Kattikiro, Samwiri Wamala, and to the assassination of his replacement Martin Luther Nsibirwa.
In order to acquire the land the legalistic British, who could have acquired the land by force, wanted a law passed by the Lukiiko of Buganda. This law was to empower the Kabaka to Acquire Land for Purposes Beneficial to the Nation. With this law in place, the Kabaka would then pass on the land acquired to the Protectorate Government. Indeed it was only time when the citizens of Buganda started to loose their lands and many of them and their grandchildren became squatters without any land ownership rights.
Mu mwaka 1926 Tefero Kisosonkole ye yali Katikkiro ng’adda mu kifo kya Sir Apollo Kaggwa eyawumula mu mwaka ogwo. Omwaka ogwaddako 1927 Kabaka Daudi Ccwa ng’abeera Munyonyo, eyo gyeyali awulirira emirembe nga yeesudde akabanga ne Mmengo. Eyo kwe kutumayo SALAAMA, amakulu nti Mirembe.
Olukiiko lwa Buganda nga lumaze okulaba nga lutawaana nyo okufuna Kabaka lwatuula ne lusalawo Kabaka akomewo e Mengo Gavana w’anaamulabiranga amangu. Martin Luther Nsibirwa mu kiseera ekyo nga wa Ssaza Mukwenda, era nga mubaka wa Lukiiko. Era okufaanana mukamawe Kabaka, ekiteeso teyakyagala. Yadduka zambwa nabifuwa Kabaka nga Katikiro Kisosonkole no Lukiiko bwe bamuliddemu olukwe e basalawo ye Kabaka kyeyali tayagala, ate nga ne Gavana baali bamuwaddeko dda kkop y’ekiteeso.
Kabaka yayita Kattikiro nga tanaba nakwogera bibadde mu Lukiiko....Kabaka nayomba. Katikkiro nanyiiga. Nasaba alekulire. Era nebamukkiriza, era ne bbaluwa emala omulimu yagiwandiikira awo.
Kabaka yawandiikira Gavana nga Katikkiro bw’alekulidde olwobulwadde. Kabaka bweyadda e Mmengo ng’ekiteeso bwe kyayisbwa, yalonda Nsibirwa okulya Obwakatikkiro.
Kabaka bwakisa omukono Namasole Irene Drussila Namaganda nayagala okufumbirwa Rev. Kigozi.
Katikkiro Nsibirwa yamukiriza songa empisa y’ensi yali temukiriza. Bwatyo Nsibirwa nagobwa kubwa Katikkiro.
Ssekabaka Muteesa II oluvanyuma yalonda Nsibirwa adde ku bwa Katikkiro nga asuubiza nti ye yekka yasobola okukomyawo Namasole atule nate e Lusaka.
Nsibirwa ono bwatyo kumulundi gwe ogwokubiri nga Katikkiro yagaba ettaka eri Abazunga okuzimbako Makerere University awo e Nnyannjeeradde, abatuuze bangi nyo nebagobwawo.
Nsibirwa yali akyayiiya okuzza Namasole ne bamukuba emmundu awo e Namirembe ku makya nga 5/9/1945 nga akedde okusaba nga empisa ye bwe yali. Ekitundu ekisooka kye yafugira kyali kya myaka 13 ate ekyokubiri kya myaka 3. Ensiriba gyeyali ayambadde bagituuma Ssegantebuka Mbamaamidde.
Oluyimba:
1) Ejjembe lye ekkulu Ssegantebuka Mbamaamidde, Teryamulimba nti okusoma ogendanga mu ttuntu tewali musango.
Nti bwoligenda ku nkya balikusiba mu ttu ng’entula...Ye bambi yakeeranga bukeezi okusoma,
Essasi eryajja n’obusungu, lye lyamukuba ekigwo obugazi. Oswadde nnyo okulimba Kabaka n’Obuganda, Nti olizza Namasole, ate Namasole n’akulema okupanga.
2)Omusango gwasinga Katikkiro.
Ate ye Namasole baamuyimba bati:
3)Amaddu g’abakyala Irene yalya ekibe. Baakibaabuza ssanja emmuli zaabula, Yandiridde ku mbuzi ze n’atalya kibe. Katikkiro Nsibirwa ye yakikuba, Baakibaabuza ssanja emmuli zaabula. Bakifumba mu kiro ng’abantu beebase.
Her captor had a small business. Jaycee Lee helped run the business. She received orders via phone and emails. Sometimes she even met and greeted clients at the door - alone. But she never made the choice to escape. She even went out in public. But each time she faithfully returned to the tiny congested shed in the back of the home of the man who reportedly kidnapped her and repeatedly raped her.
Why? Carl Probyn, Jaycee’s stepfather said “Jaycee has strong feelings with this guy”. Why do victims tend to identify with those who victimise them? Is it because it keeps them alive? Is it because they think their wellbeing is embedded in the wellbeing of their tormentors? Is it about self preservation?
In January 2010 she fell out with FDC and founded the Uganda Federal Alliance becoming its first (hopefully not last) President. Her case was strong and she ran a strong campaign. As a believer in Federalism, I agreed with her that for too long many have paid nothing but lip service to federalism. I recall the day I shared a podium at the 2009 Buganda Conference at Hotel Africana. She spoke boldly about our traditional norms and urged participants not to be ashamed of tradition after all tradition and modernity can coexist.
By all counts, Beti Kamya knows what she is doing. After all she is a woman of substance. She is well-educated, articulate and knows the world of politics well.
She is now Kampala minister. And she has joined the fray with gusto. Many have speculated as to how she catapulted herself to the position. Some have even alleged that she was part of the sleeper cell embedded in the Opposition to spy for the Museveni regime.
In defence, she lambasted her critics saying she started as a child of NRM and only joined the Opposition out of disenchantment. And now she has been disenchanted by the opposition, no one knows to what extent, and that is why she has moved full circle to rejoin the NRM. She accuses the Opposition for being blind to her leadership ability and potential. She lauds Museveni for noticing her vast abilities.
Recently, in a teary-eyed emotional outburst in praise of Museveni, she just stopped short of singing Amazing Grace, namely; “I was once was lost but now I am found, was blind but now I see”. She abandoned her own presidential ambitions and declared that she would work tirelessly to ensure that Museveni wins 80 per cent in the 2021.
As infuriating as that about face is, it says something about Ms Kamya’s state of mind. She doesn’t give credit to the Opposition which gave her a platform from which she caught the eye of Museveni. Instead she seems remorseful that she didn’t see the light sooner.
That is the reason I started with the story of Jaycee Lee Dugard. Beti Kamya once called Museveni a “monster”. She now sees him as as a redeemer. What has happened? Has she lost her way the way she lost her way in the 2011 presidential campaigns ending up in Tanzania?
That is what psychologists call the Stockholm syndrome. The term Stockholm syndrome was coined in 1973. Two robbers stormed Kreditbanken in Stockholm, Sweden, and held employees hostage for about a week. In this period the hostages and their captors became very close.
They became emotionally attached and even defended them after the ordeal. The Stockholm syndrome is a “psychological response of a hostage or an individual in a similar situation in which the more dominant person has the power to put the victim’s life in danger.
Perpetrators occasionally use this advantage to get victims to comply with their demands.”
As Niccolo Machiavelli said “Men, when they receive good from whence they expect evil, feel the more indebted to their benefactor.” My advice to Kamya is that she should adjust with equanimity to her new role and station.
There is no need to fret and fume at every criticism. After all, there is a limit to how much you can defend yourself against being misunderstood by those who are bent on doing so.

KAMPALA - Uganda. Some Ugandan educationists have proposed to government a wide range of changes in the education system of the country, including banning boarding schools at primary level, which they say has endangered the family development of children.
Prof. Abdu Kasozi, the former executive director of the National Council for Higher Education said that if the Ugandan education system is to compete with the changing societal demands and the highly-technology driven world, a group of eminent people need to undertake a study and recommend a revised education curriculum.
Among the proposed reforms Kasozi wants government to adopt include;
- banning the use of calculators in all schools
- discouraging boarding schools at primary level
- changing the 7 (primary) -6 (secondary)-3 (university) education system to 8 (primary)-4 (secondary)-4 (university, and
- the abolition of the specialization in arts and science but rather pursue a combination of subjects up to degree level
“The major aims of education in Uganda haven’t changed since the missionaries came. There is a need to re-think our education system and align it with the changing digital and other societal changes since 1986,” he said.
No respect for knowledge
Kasozi was speaking at the inaugural annual Prof. William Senteza Kajubi memorial lecture at Makerere University main hall.
Prof. Kajubi died in 2012 at the age of 86.
A 1989 report penned by the late Prof. William Senteza Kajubi was crucial for higher education reforms in Uganda. (File photo credit: Samuel Lutwama)
“Abolish the current specialisations into arts on the one side and sciences on the other, until students have completed their first degree. We are proposing that government discourages boarding schools at primary level,” said Kasozi.
‘Re-thinking Uganda’s education system’ was the theme of the lecture, and several professors and educationists in attendance seconded Kasozi’s proposals, which they said, would help re-organise Uganda’s education to the labour market.
The Chancellor of Makerere University, Prof. Mondo Kagonyera also expressed the lack of respect for knowledge as the main reason Ugandans are corrupt.
He called upon government to allow educationists to craft an education policy containing the various reforms as proposed by Kasozi for implementation.
‘Extremely concerned’
Kagonyera also called upon government to revert Kyambogo University into a polytechnic because it has failed as a university.
“I am extremely concerned about the trend which education is taking in this country. It shocks me that we have people in this country who don’t respect knowledge. Why should Government continue to blame Makerere University and other institutions for producing people who cannot create jobs yet they have not told us what kind of people they want us to produce?
“Kyambogo was meant to churn out teachers and technicians but it has failed to be a university. government should revert it to what they were supposed to do.”
The tough-talking Kagonyera however cautioned educationists not to leave education policies to politicians because they are fond of making contradictory pronouncements without carefully thinking of the impact.
He also criticized teachers’ unions for cherry-picking on salary increments rather than raising key education changes that the society needs.
‘People of ideas’
The main discussant of Kasozi’s keynote address, Dr. Ronald Bisaso, the dean of East African School of Higher Education Studies and Development, said that throughout his career as an educationist, the late Senteza Kajubi advocated for changes in the education system – a spirit that government and other stakeholders should embrace.
“People of power need people of ideas. It is a balance advanced countries have come to appreciate,” he said.
The Prof. William Senteza Kajubi memorial lecture, according to Dr. Fred Masagazi Masaazi, the Principal College of Education and External Studies, would be held every year to pay tribute to the renowned educationist.
The fallen professor is the author of the famous Kajubi Report (1989) which set the ball rolling for higher education reforms in the country.
His son, Wasswa Yoweri Kajubi, welcomed the idea of the lecture and also welcomed the proposal by Makerere University to build a lecture theatre and a foundation in memory of his father.
The lecture was attended by a number of dignitaries, including the Vice Chancellor of Makerere Prof. John Ddumba Ssentamu, former Prime Minister Prof. Apolo Nsibambi, the Minister of Finance, Planning and Economic Development Maria Kiwanuka, the Auditor General John Muwanga, former Education and Sports minister Geraldine Namirembe Bitamazire, ex-DP president Paul Kawanga Ssemogerere among others.

Posted Tuesday, June 28 2016
The legislator, after inspecting Karungu Seed Secondary School in Ntoboora B Cell, Buhweju District, in a meeting with students, parents and teachers called for calm but promised to officially petition the ministry of Education and Parliament to ensure the matter is investigated.
The school is in a sorry state and a threat to the students amid fear that it might collapse on them. The school was bought by government from eight private developers in 2010 at Shs370 million.
Mr Mwijukye told Daily Monitor at the weekend that the cost of the school is also suspicious.
“I went to the school and found students doing exams under the tree. They told me they had run away from the collapsing buildings but were advised to do exams under the tree,” he said.
The legislator wants government to order for a value-for-money audit to establish the actual cost of the school and also explain why taxi payers’ money was spent on the old building.
He warned that he will not give officials the liberty to ‘play with” the findings of the investigations since all the stakeholders, including the entire community, want an explanation.
“Ministers swear in to serve people and this is the time for the Education minister to start working and deliver. She should visit the school and establish the value for money. Procedures and necessary steps should be followed to help the suffering students and parents at the school,” the legislator said.
It is reported that Karungu Seed SS was sold to government between 2008 and 2010 but the valuers took photos of a different school to inflate the value of the school and rip-off government.
The school was started in 1999 by eight private developers. Government bought it in 2010 as part of the national plan to establish a secondary school in every sub-county.
The transaction was entered and made by the school directors, including Mr Lawrence Kamukama, Augustus Abenaitwe, Isaac Rubafunya, Vincent Gumisiriza, Evadio Katsigazi and Expedito Rukundo, then commissioner for secondary education in the ministry of Education John Agaba, Bushenyi District chief administrative officer Charles Kiberu and District Education Officer Norman Rukumu.
Pictures of a different school, believed to be Kitagata Secondary School in the neighboring Sheema District with better infrastructure, were taken and presented as purported representation of Karungu Seed SS. Government then bought the school at an apparent inflated valuation, which led to the ministry neglecting the school after finding out the rip-off.
The school had more than 450 students at the time of government takeover but the enrollment has dropped to below 300 due to the poor conditions. Stakeholders in the sub-county have petitioned several authorities but to no avail.

Kojja Tekirya yafangayo nyo okutukyalira era natuleterangayo aka sente, akawunga ka soya, engoye enkadde ezabaana nabakulu, eddaggala, amata gobuwunga olwabaana.
Mukulu Kasirye, omusomesa wa masomero yali mulimi era nga mulunzi. Yalima nga kalituusi nentandiika nga okumukolera ku kibanja kye kumpi ne Kitungwa. Awo we yanzija nantwala ku kibuga e Kampala, wano e Nammere. Namulundira ente ze era neziwera. Yampa nga omusaala. Sente zino nenziwereza abomuka. Emyaka 6 nengiweza nga mpakasa bwentyo.
Kibi nti oluvanyuma Farm ya Mukulu Kasirye yagwa. Motoka ye najitunda eyali emuyamba enyo mubulunzi bwebisolo bye kukibuga. Naddayo mukyalo e Kitungwa nenima. Natema kumputa okusobola okubeezawo amaka.
Emyaka gyawera 2 obusuubuzi bwe mputa bwatandiika okutabuka. Omusana gwayaka nyo negutta ebirime. Ebiwuka nebirya kayinja, emwanyi, nebitooke.
Pressure neyitirira kwekukomawo kukibuga kye Kampala. Natuukira e Namere nate. Nalabirira enyumba ya Mukulu Kazibwe emyaka 4. Nawerezanga mukyala wange nabaana sente okutuusa enyumba Mwami Kazibwe lweyagyediza nga amaliriza safari ze zeyakolanga.
Oluvanyuma nensenga ewa Mugenzi Mutumba awo era e Nammere. Nkumye enyumba eno nga bwenkola nemirimu gyange nga bwemba nsobodde. Oluusi kukimira balirwanwa amazzi nokulima compounds zabwe kakati emyaka 4.
Nina obuzibu bungi ddala kubanga sente zenfuna kukibuga tezimala okusobola okuwerezaako abomumaka.
Omukyala wange yabisibako awaka wa Taata nadda ewaabwe kubuttaka bwabazadde be.

Njagala okukubira omulanga eri betwazirwaanako bonna nti, baagalwa banange, munyambe mumpereze kubuyambi naye ddala siri bulungi nakamu. Sirina ssimu ndi wano e Nammere mu maduuka. Obuuza ewa Mukyala Dina.
Eyabajja emmundu ezaayambako NRM okulwana n'ewamba obuyinza kati yeerya nkuta
By Musasi wa Bukedde
Added 4th August 2016
ISMAIL Ssemmambo (RO/2498) eyazirwanako y'omu ku bakubi ba ssabbaawa 21, Pulezidenti Museveni ng'akyali muyeekera be yatendeka okuwamba obuyinza. Ono obuyeekera yabuyingira ku myaka 16 wabula kati alaajana lwa kwerabirwa.
Agamba nti ye yekka eyabajja emmundu ezaayambako NRM okulwana naye kati yeerya nkuta.
Ssemmambo agamba olutalo lw'okuleeta Museveni mu buyinza yaluyingira yaakatuula P7, n’asimattuka okufa enfunda eziwera.
Ismail Ssemambo nga bwali ebiro bino
NNYINGIRA AMAGYE
Nzaalibwa Bulingwe mu muluka gw'e Kagogo mu ggombolola ye Makulubita e Luweero. Bwe nnali nsoma mu Buligwe P/s gye natuulira P7 mu 1981, olutalo lwa NRM ne lubalukawo okulwanyisa gavumenti ya Obote Museveni gye yali alumiriza okubba obululu mu kulonda kwa 1980.
Amagye ga Obote gattanga nnyo abantu mu kitundu kyaffe ng'okugenda ku ssomero kizibu era ne nkoma mu P7.
Ebiseera ebyo kitange omugenzi Ahamed Kakembo yalina enkolagana ne Museveni era kitange yafi ira mu lutalo luno mu 1983, yabuzibwawo basajja ba Obote n'okutuusa kati tetuddangamu kumulabako.
Mu buyeekera taata yampaayo ne muto wange Muhammad Lukoda eyalina emyaka 14 naye eyafi irayo.
Nga twegatta ku Museveni, taata yamala kutulaga Obote bwe yali omubi ennyo n’abantu be yali atta.
OKUKUBA SSABBAAWA
Mu lutalo, Museveni yatendeka abakuba ssabbaawa 21, nange mwe nnali era omulimu gwaffe omukulu gwali gwa kubega magye ga Obote ekiro n'emisana, okubatega bbomu ssaako okubakuba (okubatta) era n'okutwalira mukama waffe Museveni amawulire agafa mu nkambi ya Obote.
Nze nateganga bbomu eza ‘land mine’, ezitegwa mu ttaka, era zino Museveni ye yazinjigiriza Kitange yali musajja mubazzi, yalina obukyayi bungi nnyo ku Obote kale olw’obukyayi obwo nange nafuna obuvumu obumulwanyisa.
Twalina ebyokulwanyisa bitono, we waava okukozesa amagezi taata ge yalina ag’obubazzi okuyiiya emmundu ku myaka 17 mu 1983. Nze naweesa emmundu 40 nga zikuba essasi limu limu, zaali za mbaawo, nakozesa ebyuma bya payipu.
Emmundu zino zaasanyusa nnyo abatuuze ne Museveni era twazikozesa mu lutalo okulwanyisa abalabe. Museveni yatuwaayo emmundu enzungu nnya (4) ne tukozesa ne ku zino ezange, olwo nga tuli mu nkambi y’e Kasiringi.
Nzijukira amagye ga Obote lwe gajja ewaffe e Bulingwe. Bwe baatuuka eka, nze ne muto wange Lukoda twali tusuze ku muti ogwali emmanju.
Abajaasi ba Obote baakuba amasasi mu nnyumba yonna, naffe ne tubakubamu amasasi ana, naye ne tusimattuka ne tudduka.
Ndi omu ku baawamba enkambi y’e Fort Portal, Kasese, Mbarara, Nakasongola, Masaka era ebiseera ebyo nnali nduumirwa Gen. Salim Saleh.
Ndi omu ku bayeekera abaanunula omukulu omu eyali awambiddwa e Rwakitura, amagye ga Gen. Tito Okello Lutwa bwe baazingako ekyalo.
Waaliwo akaseera k'okussa wansi ebyokulwnayisa wakati wa Museveni ne Lutwa, kyokka basajja ba Lutwa baakozesa akakisa ako, nga ne Museveni ali Nairobi ne bawamba omunene omu ku kyalo kye oluvannyuma gwe twanunula.
Olunaku olwo lwe lumu lwe twalumba bbanka e Kabale ne tuggyamu ssente. Kino kyatanula olutalo ne luddamu buto era ku luno tetwadda mabega okutuusa bwe twawamba mu 1986. Nze ekibinja kye nalimu kyalimu Paul Kagame, Fred Rwigyema ne Chefe Ali nga tusinziira Kasese.
NSIGALA MU NSIKO
Oluvannyuma lw'okuwamba, mu nsiko nasigalayo era nze omu ku baalwanyisa abayeekera Alice Lakwena ne Joseph Kony ne tubamalawo nga tuduumirwa Gen David Tinyefuza nga nze nkulira ebikwekweto mu ‘9th Battalion’.
Mu 1992 nannyuka amagye g'eggwanga naye ekyasinga okunnyiiza okugavaamu nga buli bwe bagaba ebitiibwa n'emidaali okukuza abajaasi abaalwana nga nze bandeka bbali. Baali bansuubiza dda okufuna ekitiibwa kya Major naye ssaakifuna.
Nze eyafiirwa famire yange, naye abalala nga babayisaawo! Nnali mmanyi nti bwe tunaawamba nange ndijjukirwa naye si bwe kiri.
Kinnuma okuba nti nze sifunangayo wadde omudaali ogumu bwe guti ate nga nalwana era naweesaako ne ku byokulwanyisa bye twakozesa, waakiri bandinsiimye olw'ekyo. Nasemba okusisinkana Pulezidenti Museveni mu 1988 n'abakulu abalala. Ne ku olwo ssaafuna mukisa kwogerako naye mu buntu.
EMIRIMU GYANGE
Bwe nava mu magye, natandika emirimu gyange egy'obusuubuzi nga ntunda ebintu ebikozesebwa mu bulamu obwa bulijjo.
Natandikawo ne kkampuni eyambako mu kuzimba era emirimu gyange nagitwala e South Sudan mu 2008 gye nnali nkolera ne kkampuni ya ESP International.
Kyokka nayo, kkampuni eno yeekobaana n'abamu ku banene mu Uganda mu 2011 ne banyaga ebintu byange ebikozesebwa omwali ebyuma, kompyuta ne ssente enkalu ebibalirirwamu obukadde bwa doola munaana.
Amagye g'omunda e S. Sudan gankomyawo e Uganda ne bandeeta ewa Gen. Salim Saleh gye mbeera kati .
Ab’e South Sudan osanga baali balowooza nti nja kubalwanyisa nga ngaggawadde, sso nga nange nali njagala kuba bulungi.
NDABYE ENNAKU
Ebizibu bingi bye nsanze ewa Gen. Saleh okuva mu 2011 bwe natandika okubeerayo, nkola emirimu naye sisasulwa ate bwe bansasula bampa ssente ntono ezitagya mu mirimu gye nkoze.
Ngezezzaako okuwandiikira Pulezidenti Museveni ne Pulezidenti Kagame owa Rwanda kuba bwe twali mu nsiko naye simanyi oba amabaluwa tegatuuka kuba sifunanga kuddibwamu. Sirina maka gange, nsula mu muzigo omupangise, mukama wange omu yansuubiza okunzimbira ennyumba naye n'okutuusa kati sigirabanga!
Brig. Elly Kayanja nga August 28, 2013 yawandiikira minisita avunaanyizibwa ku butebenkevu ayambe Ssemmambo naye n’okutuusa kati tekikolebwanga.
