First Deputy Prime Minister and Kamuli Woman MP, Rt. Hon. Rebecca Kadaga, received a rousing and heroic welcome in Busoga as she returned to her home district for a thanksgiving event that culminated in a massive rally at the Kamuli Municipal Grounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kadaga used the high-profile platform to launch a scathing attack on Busoga Kingdom Prime Minister, Dr. Joseph Muvawala Nsekere, accusing him of sabotaging key development projects and orchestrating the illegal sale of kingdom land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a strongly worded speech, Kadaga revealed that efforts to construct an airport at Kimaka, Jinja City\u2014despite having secured presidential approval\u2014were deliberately obstructed by the kingdom\u2019s premier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe had already paid for marram to build the runway at Kimaka airfield. But to my shock, Muvawala deployed armed men in Buwekula to block the collection of the material. His actions are politically motivated to undermine me and frustrate development in Busoga,\u201d Kadaga told a cheering crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kadaga further accused Dr. Muvawala of being at the center of the controversial sale of Busoga Kingdom properties, lamenting that while other traditional institutions like Buganda have reclaimed and protected their assets, Busoga continues to lose its heritage through questionable land deals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Deputy Prime Minister also decried persistent infighting among Busoga\u2019s political leadership, urging unity and reaffirming her loyalty to the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) despite recent challenges, including her performance in the Central Executive Committee elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese internal divisions are hurting our region. I remain loyal to the NRM and committed to serving my people, regardless of political setbacks,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the time of publishing, Dr. Muvawala had not issued any official response to the allegations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, tensions over land management in Busoga are not new. On 3rd September 2025, State Minister for Lands, Dr. Sam Mayanja, ordered the arrest of Muvawala and other kingdom officials over alleged involvement in dubious land transactions and illegal evictions in Buwekula and Kainogoga villages, Northern Division, Jinja City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this year, Dr. Muvawala dismissed similar allegations, claiming that the accusations were unfounded and that Busoga\u2019s land woes stem from historical challenges, including the lack of formal land titling systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ongoing controversy signals growing unrest within the Busoga leadership and raises questions about the future of the region\u2019s traditional and political institutions<\/p>\n\n\n\n
