LETTER: Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II’s Three Decades Shaping The Future

July 31, 2023

Kampala-Uganda

With a profound exhibition of authority and strategic foresight, the King of Buganda His Majesty Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II has undertaken a significant reshuffle in his cabinet, just a day after the commemoration of his 30th Coronation Anniversary.

 The announcement, on Tuesday, sent ripples of anticipation and intrigue throughout the central region, as key positions within the administration were rearranged and new responsibilities were assigned.

A familiar face continues to lead the way as Charles Peter Mayiga retains his position as the Katikkiro, the Prime Minister of the Buganda Kingdom. Alongside him, Twaha Kaawaase and Robert Waggwa Nsibirwa are appointed as the first and second deputy premiers, respectively.

Kaawaase, already serving as the minister for administration and ICT, adds another significant responsibility to his portfolio, while Nsibirwa maintains his role as the minister for finance in the Mengo government.

The Kabaka’s meticulous attention to preserving essential leadership is evident in the retention of Patrick Luwaga Mugumbule as the speaker of the Lukiiko, the Buganda parliament, with Ahmed Lwasa serving as his deputy. Similarly, Christopher Bwanika continues to hold the esteemed position of the Buganda Attorney General.

Yet, the winds of change bring fresh faces and new roles to the forefront. Notably, Cotilda Nakate Kikomeko, formerly chairperson of the Buganda Kingdom Education Committee, now assumes the ministerial responsibility for social services and the office of the Nnaabagereka. 

Her appointment follows the departure of Dr. Prosperous Nankindu Kavuma, marking a significant shift in the government’s approach to social affairs.

A constellation of ministers proves their merit as they maintain their posts, undeterred by the changes. Mariam Nkalubo remains unwavering as the minister for self-help, environment, water, and gender. Israel Kazibwe and Robert Sserwanga continue to spearhead the ministries of information and mobilization, and youths and sports, respectively.

The most notable additions to the cabinet are Anthony Wamala and Cotilda Nakate Kikomeko. Wamala, the principal of the esteemed Buganda Royal Institute of Business and Technical Education in Mengo, brings his wealth of experience and achievements to the ministries in charge of social services and the Nnaabagereka’s office, as well as heritage, palaces, tombs, tourism, and security.

Kikomeko, renowned for her dedication to education, is expected to infuse the social services ministry with fresh perspectives and innovative approaches.

Regrettably, the reshuffle has also seen some ministers stepping down from their roles. Henry Ssekabembe Kiberu, formerly the Minister For Youth, Sports, and Recreation, and Dr. Prosperous Nankindu Kavuma, responsible for Social Services, bid farewell to the cabinet.

Nevertheless, Kabaka’s restructuring efforts don’t stop at mere personnel changes. Notably, Noah Kiyimba’s roles expand to include overseeing cabinet affairs, Lukiiko (parliament), protocol, and other office matters in the Katikkiro’s domain.

Additionally, Joseph Kawuki is elevated from state minister to full minister in the crucial local government docket.

Moreover, the Kabaka has taken a bold step by creating a new ministry dedicated to mobilization, falling under the jurisdiction of the Kabaka’s spokesperson. This move highlights the government’s proactive approach to engaging the public and enhancing participation in decision-making processes.

The reverberations of Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi’s transformative reshuffle will undoubtedly be felt far and wide. The Buganda Kingdom enters a new era of governance, buoyed by a renewed sense of purpose and a commitment to dynamic leadership.

As the Kabaka continues to steer the kingdom toward progress, the world watches with bated breath to witness the impact of these sweeping changes on Buganda’s political landscape and its people’s future.

Why Some Ministers Were Dropped

There are several reasons that led to the reshuffle and dropping of some ministers. According to an official within Mengo who preferred anonymity, some ministers were underperformers. It allows the monarch to replace ministers who have failed to deliver on their responsibilities or have become a liability to the government.

Another reason was to provide stability by ensuring experienced and capable individuals continue in critical positions, thus maintaining continuity in governance.

However, he noted, reshuffling the cabinet allows the monarch to inject new energy and fresh perspectives into the government, bringing in new talent and ideas.

According to the official, the reshuffle also aligns with the changing circumstances, such as social, economic, or political challenges, that may necessitate rearranging key roles to address emerging issues effectively.

The observation made by the official highlights an interesting aspect of the recent government reshuffle. The appointment of loyal supporters of the King could serve multiple purposes. On one hand, it demonstrates the monarch’s desire to have trusted individuals in key positions, which can contribute to a sense of unity and stability within the government.

However, the move might also be a strategic measure to prevent the consolidation of power by certain individuals. Therefore, by appointing loyal supporters, the King could potentially avoid the concentration of influence in the hands of those who might challenge his authority or create divisions within the ruling establishment.

On the other hand, the individual praises the performance of the Katikkiro, indicating that the incumbent was highly competent and effective in his work and still loyal to the realm.
