Obusinga Causes Chaos In Kasese Campaigns

By John Nzinjah and John Thawite THE controversial Bakonzo Kingdom (Obusinga) has become the cause of contention in the Kasese chairmanship campaign meetings, with each contestant trying to explain why it has not been granted.A UPDF captain, Barnabas Mughongo, said on Tuesady, at the meetings held at Kabaka and Kanamba trading centres that some of the monarchy’s advocates had supported former presidential candidate Kizza Besigye, whom he said had rebelled against the government.Justus Ngasirwa, another aspirant, accused the obusinga agitators of using it as a “stepping stone” for their selfish ends.He said those spearheading the obusinga establishment originate from one part of the district, from the same family and were using the rest of the district as political ladders.“This has further divided the political camps that already existed in the district,” he said.Ends
