The Kabaka, yesterday, Sunday evening, phoned Prime Minister Charles Peter Mayiga, through whom he condemned people who politicised his sickness.
The Kabaka of Buganda, Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II has sent out a message to his people, expressing disappointment with those who have used his health to create disquiet in the kingdom.

Mayiga delivered this message on Monday morning during the reading of the Kingdom budget at Bulange, Mengo.
“I am happy to inform you that His Majesty the King is there and reigning,” Mayiga said.
“Last evening at 6pm I talked to him on the phone, and he thanked all the people who have not allowed to be swayed by the unscrupulous characters who wish to use his health as a door to get to their intentions,” Mayiga said
“There are people who believe that they can use this to push their own agenda…they want to start an uprising in Buganda so that they can get to where they want to go.”
Bad elements to be avoided
A seemingly livid Mayiga once again sounded off on people in political positions and others within the kingdom who continued to press him about the “whereabouts of the Kabaka.”
He said such people have no good intentions for the kingdom and should be avoided.
“When they see him here, they order me to take him for treatment. When he goes for treatment, they demand that I bring him back. Every day they are coming up with something,” Mayiga retorted.
“There is when they pronounced him dead, and the next day they saw him with President Uhuru (Kenyatta).
“They are shameless… you would think they would apologise from that time. Now they claim that the king is captivity…do they think that he is a street kid who can just get rounded up by KCCA?”
Meanwhile, the Premier conveyed a message of appreciation from the Kabaka for the Kingdom work that is ongoing in his absence
He said the Kabaka was encouraged by the Kingdom’s unwavering commenting to carry on its activities for the development of the people of Buganda.
“He asked me to inform you that he is very pleased because of the determination we have to ensure that the kingdom activities are ongoing.”
Mayiga revealed that the Kabaka will be back in the country when his he and his German doctors feel he has recovered enough to resume his duties.
