Sitting at Kitumba District headquarters on Friday, March 12, 2021, furious council members decided to join Mr.Joram Bintamanya (mukono gwe’kyoma) who has for three years rejected standing or in any way honour the kingdom anthem wherever it would be sung while opening the district council. When once asked by our reporter why he behaved as such, Joram explained that he was protesting against the Kingdom’s various ‘atrocities’ against their subjects.
Bringing you back to today’s sitting, the council members noted that they can’t go-ahead to sing the anthem before the King and his mother repent from;
1-Evicting poor people from the land
2-Conniving with Gov’t to change kingdom properties into King Oyo and trying to compensate him as an individual.
3-Using impunity against their subjects on Kingdom land.
4-Failure to respect Tooro Elders’ forum’s resolutions led by Prof Edwards Rugumayo on peaceful co-existence
5-Failure to respect Religious leaders’ resolutions led by the Bishops.
