Kabaka is not the father of the twins - Buganda Kingdom

According to a Friday statement from the Kingdom, Daudi Chwa was the last king to sire twins. They are Kalemera and Kiggala and they were born in 1925.

Buganda culture stipulates that the Kabaka and his wives are free to raise children in the palace despite their origin as long as the Kabaka agrees to it, reads the statement.

The statement also says that these children can call the Kabaka their father and they can also call his wives their mothers.

But the children can not be taken through traditional rituals or be introduced to the kingdom as princes and princesses.

According to the statement, there are many such children in the palace. But when the king sires a child, they are taken through traditional rituals.

In excerpts from the memoir that have been shared on social media, Nabagereka Sylvia Nagginda said that she had twins named Jade Nakato and Jasmine Babirye who were born on December 6, 2010.
