Judicial Officers and staff of Mengo Chief Magistrate’s Court, led by Her Worship Doreen Ajuna have today visited the Kingdom of Buganda headquarters.
Katikkiro has urged them to uphold justice and the rule of law, especially in protecting the vulnerable!
The Deputy Chief Justice, Hon. Moses Kazibwe Kawumi, urged people to embrace the traditional dispute-resolution mechanism so that they can resolve disputes outside the formal court system.
Justice Kawumi made the remarks at an exhibition organised by the Judiciary yesterday,

High Court Voids the Sale of Joseph Gabunga’s Kibanja for Lack of Buganda Land Board Consent, Rules That a Landlord’s Death Does Not End a Tenant’s Rights, and Awards Shepherds Grammar School UGX 20M
The Court held that although a tenant who entered land under a tenancy agreement may qualify as a lawful occupant, this does not automatically make such tenant a tenant by occupancy entitled to the statutory right of first option to purchase under section 36(3) of the Land Act.
Significantly, the Court also held that where a kibanja is held under the reversionary interest of the Kabaka of Buganda, the consent required for a transaction involving the kibanja must be obtained from the landowner through the Buganda Land Board, and not merely from the local Omutongole wa Kabaka

The Katikkiro has asked government to release all prisoners facing political related cases.
Katikkiro adds that some were arrested following claims that they had stolen items like mobile phones but the weight of punishments meted unto them is questionable.
The Katikkiro has asked government to call an end to arrests of people done in drone vehicles and transferred to unknown places.
He says that these acts were done in the Obote and Amin regimes and Uganda is past them!
BREAKING NEWS!
Katikkiro has cautioned that the Protection of the Sovereignty Bill if enacted, it’ll cripple most of the Buganda Kingdom events for instance; luwalo, extension of social services ie construction of boreholes, health etc so he has asked the government to drop it!
THE DRAFT PROTECTION OF THE SOVEREIGNTY BILL 2026
The repercussions…..
The bill, if enacted in its current state, will stiffle and infringe on the fundamental rights of Ugandans entrenched in Chapter 4; the right to freedom of expression, other rights and freedoms.
DRAFT PROTECTION OF THE SOVEREIGNTY BILL
The Kingdom of Buganda seeks more clarity on clause 13 which creates the offence of Economic Sabotage, penalizing any person who 'publishes information or participates in any act that weakens or damages the economic system of the country.
sabotage motivated by foreign interest, and good faith commentary on economic policy.
Clause 13 imposes penalties of up to Ugx. 2 billion for legal entities, & twenty (20) years imprisonment for individuals. We believe this clause, in its current state, is inconsistent with

What happens to transactions between Ugandan family members abroad and here in Uganda?
The Kingdom of Buganda cites that the Uganda Diaspora (including the non-Baganda) contributes morally & financially to the Kingdom's setups
in luwalo, Kabaka Birthday Run etc
The Kingdom also receives grants, funding and support from
international development partners egUNAIDS, UNESCO, USAID, and others, for health, education, agricultural development, cultural heritage and community development
programs.
To label such contributions as foreign funding and also family members at home as agents is injustice
@BugandaKingdom_ asks for the need to add an explicit carve out for cultural, private, commercial & family transactions between Ugandan citizens & their families or communities.
