According to Byakutaga, only the cultural leader (Omukama) of the Bunyoro Kitara Kingdom has the authority to appoint or dismiss officials. He also accused the Okwiri of forgery, stating that a document claiming the Omukama had transferred his powers to the Okwiri was falsified.
In a September 2 letter, Eng. Fred Rucunya Mugenyi, the Chief Prince (Okwiri) of Bunyoro Kitara Kingdom, the Okwiri has replaced Byakutaga with Dr. Baltazar Kyamanywa Kasirivu Atwooki as the new interim prime minister of the Kingdom.
