Kabaka starts three-day Kayunga tour

By Vision Reporter

Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II has started a three-day visit to his Bugerere County in Kayunga.

Hundreds of his subjects have lined up along Kayunga Road to welcome him amidst dancing, drumming and singing. A number of people were seen sweeping the road and cleaning areas where Kabaka wil stop and wave to the enthusiastic crowds.

Police have deployed heavily to guarantee security and to avert any possible criminal and terrorism acts.

In 2009, the Government blocked Kabaka from visiting Kayunga because some people had contested his visit.

Over 20 people died as deadly riots broke out in September 2009 in Kampala and other towns in Buganda after government blocked the Kabaka from going to Kayunga after a group of Banyala led by Major Baker Kimeze declared Bugerere was no longer part of Buganda.
