Lt. Gen. Henry Tumukunde on Tuesday held talks with Bunyoro Kitara
Kingdom officials.
Tumukunde was hosted by the Kingdom Prime Minister Andrew Byakutaga at the
Kingdom palace. He tasked the institution to rally its subjects to denounce
politics based on tribalism.
According to Tumukunde, the people of Bunyoro should not vote for leaders
basing on tribes and ethnicity but rather vote for leaders with an appropriate
agenda to lead the country and their regions.
He says politics based on tribal sentiments could cause violence and bloodshed in
the country.
Tumukunde asked the Kingdom to play a pivotal role in ensuring
that the people of Bunyoro and Uganda at large do not promote tribalism.
//Cue in: “in join in…
Cue out:…a certain sector.”//
Lt. Gen Tumukunde too challenged the Kingdom to engage and negotiate with the
central government on what benefits should accrue to the communities that host
the oil resource.
//Cue in;” now you also…
Cue out:..of the people.”//
Byakutaga applauded Tumukunde him for recognizing the Kingdom saying
they need leaders who respect the affairs of the Kingdom and have a love for the
King and his subjects.
//cue in: “The Kingdom is…
Cue out: “…by the leaders.
Byakutaga says as an institution hosting people of different ethnicity,
they equally condemn tribalism saying any leader or person, who promotes tribalism
and sectarianism, is an enemy of the Kingdom.
//cue in;” Bunyoro Kitara Kingdom…
Cue out:…to condemn tribalism.”//
Tumukunde will today also campaign in Buliisa, Masindi and
Kiryandongo districts.
