“As members of the Buganda Parliamentary Caucus, we take this opportunity to congratulate the Kabaka of Buganda, together with all people of Buganda, for celebrating 31 years since his coronation. We are also grateful to the Almighty God to have enabled the Kabaka to return to his mother land. And we also pray that he gets well and gains the strength to lead Buganda to the very expectation of our people,” said Kivumbi Muwanga.
Muwanga said, “Let us all unite together for things that unite us, we might have differences, but the people coming after us will not remember what our differences were, they will only remember our failure to unite. I think the whole mood that was in Buganda was of love, and strengthened the kingdom of Buganda just as the top five pillars of Buganda.”

“We take this opportunity to also thank in a special way all the leadership of the Buganda community, led by the Katikiro Charles Peter Mayiga for having been able to unite the people of Buganda to lead the way, in the absence of the Kabaka. We pledge and pray that we shall always be loyal to Namulondo and we shall in all ways possible ender unity of purpose for the people of Buganda.” said said Kivumbi Muwanga.
