“Government to help restore Kasubi tombs” – President Museveni
Government will assist in the restoration of the vandalized Buganda Kingdom tombs at Kasubi in Kampala. The structure that houses some tombs of Buganda’s Kings was set ablaze last night by yet unknown people.
The announcement was made by President Yoweri Museveni this afternoon during an impromptu visit to the site where he directed for immediate investigations into the cause of the fire to establish whether it was deliberate arson or an act of God. He expressed disappointed that the scene had been interfered with.
“I am suspicious but I don’t know whether it was a deliberate act or an accident. Unfortunately these people have interfered with the scene of the crime because we would have been able to ascertain if it was intended arson. Government will see how it can assist in undoing the damage caused”, the President confirmed
Present were Presidential Adviser, Mr. Robert Sebunya, Buganda Transport Minister Mr. Kabuuza Mukasa and Rubaga LC3 Chairperson, Pastor Peter Ssematimba.
ENDS

Take your money and use it for the Bududa Victims. You have, on countless occasions, bemoaned the lack of funds. You have refused to pay rent arrears that you owe to the Buganda Government, for buildings that you occupy.
We shall rebuild our tombs come high or hell water. You may destroy our buildings, but you cannot destroy our spirits.
In conclusion: Thanks, but no thanks. We are not that desperate, and even if we were, we believe that there are others who need this money more than we do.
