The Katikkiro (Prime Minister) of Buganda Kingdom, Owek Charles Peter Mayiga has commended the Chief Justice of Uganda Alphonse Owiny Dollo for being courageous enough after apologizing for the mistake he committed against Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi.

On Thursday, the Chief Justice was hosted by the Katikkiro at Bulange Mengo where he officially apologized to the King of Buganda for falsely accusing him of using a presidential jet to seek treatment abroad.

“I hosted the Chief Justice His Lordship Alfonse Owiny Dollo at Bulange this morning. I commend him for his humility he has exhibited. Him coming here is an expression of humility which we appreciated very much.I commend him for being courageous. For him to acknowledge something that didn’t go well with others requires a lot of courage,” Katikkiro Mayiga said.

” In Buganda we say friendship follows a fight (Omukwano guva mu Ngabo). He came as a friend and he is going as a brother.I urge all Ugandans to leave what was said behind us. The people of Buganda and those of Acholi have more in common than what divides.”

Last Wednesday while at the home of the late Speaker of Parliament Jacob Oulanyah in Muyenga, the Chief Justice alleged that some people belonging to one ethnic group (Buganda) demonstrated when Oulanyah was flown to Seattle, the USA using taxpayers’ money yet they didn’t say a word when their ethnic leader (Kabaka Ronald Mutebi) was flown to Germany using a presidential jet.

In a video that made rounds on social media, Owiny Dollo condemned the demonstrations and said that it’s only a wicked person that fights a person fighting for his life.

“Some people demonstrated in Seattle telling a man struggling for his life to go back home (Uganda), Why didn’t they demonstrate when their Ethnic leader was flown to Germany using a presidential jet? “wondered Owiny Dollo.

Following the pressure from the public, on Monday Chief Justice Owiny Dollo penned down an apology letter to the King of Buganda.

“Last week, during the vigil held at the home of the fallen Speaker of Parliament, Rt Hon Jacob Oulanyah, I made a speech that was laden with unbearable grief and pain for the demise of our departed brother.

This grief and pain [were] exacerbated by those who had exhibited unthinkable callousness while the Speaker was fighting for his life; and, have continued to do so even as he lies dead. I castigated the perpetrators of these evil deeds in no uncertain language.

However, in the course of this emotional expression, I made a wrong and inappropriate reference to His Majesty, the Kabaka of Buganda. I hereby unequivocally, unreservedly, and of my free volition, wholly retract that reference; and also hereby, tender my apology to His Majesty, the Kabaka. I will immediately hereafter communicate to the Katikkiro of Buganda in writing, registering this apology…” reads part of the letter.
