The Chief Justice, Alfonse Owiny Dollo has just arrived at Mengo, Buganda Kingdom’s headquarters for a meeting with the Kingdom’s Prime Minister, Charles Peter Mayiga.
Owiny Dollo travelling in his official motorcade arrived at Mengo today, 31st March 2022 with the Mengo officials obviously aware of his visit and awaiting him.
The Chief Justice was accompanied by among others, former UPC President, Olara Otunu, Head of Public Service Commission, and Justice Ralph Ochan.
Officials from the Inter-religious Council led by the Archbishop of Uganda, Rt. Rev. Stephen Kazimba Mugalu were part of the team.
According to sources, the Chief Justice’s visit is meant to mend the hitherto thawed relationship between him and the Kingdom. Owiny Dollo was in the news for allegedly attacking the Baganda for protesting the treatment of fallen Rt. Hon. Speaker of Parliament, Jacob Oulanyah in Seattle, USA.
However, early this week, the Chief Justice came out and unequivocally apologized to Baganda and Buganda Kingdom for the utterances he made at a vigil at the late Oulanyah’s residence in Muyenga.
Owiny Dollo was welcomed by the Katikirro himself with four other Kingdom officials.
In his tweet, Mayiga said “Nyaniriza Ssaabalamuzi wa Uganda Alfonse Owinyi Dollo mu Bulange enkya ya leero.”
The talks are currently ongoing
Here below is a reproduced speech by Owiny Dollo that has seen the relationship between him and Buganda kingdom deteriorate.
“He [Oulanyah] couldn’t go [to Seattle] by ordinary flight; so, they chartered the [Uganda Airlines Airbus A330-800 neo] plane that took him there and that is what the witches, the wicked people of this world, have used Jacob Oulanyah as a pawn in their political chess game.
Really wicked! Actually, wicked to a point of being tribalistic. But just like [LRA rebel leader] Joseph Kony and Alice Lakwena [the former leader of the insurgent Holy Spirit Movement] never represented the Acholi people, these wicked people don’t represent their tribe at all.
I attended King’s College Buddo and then Makerere University [both in Buganda] then I worked here all my life as practicing attorney, as a government minister, as member of parliament…and now as a [Chief] Judge where by God’s grace I will complete my life journey.
These people [against Oulanyah] don’t represent their tribe. I have lived with members of this tribe. There is no tribe which is more accommodative than that tribe in this country.
But just like if you go to Acholi you will find Joseph Kony and [martyred Archbishop] Janan Luwum, so we have wicked people. My appeal to this tribe is ‘you are better than this.’ One frog spoils the water point. It is up to you to come out openly and condemn these people who are pouring filth on you, not on Jacob Oulanyah, not on me.
You cannot say ‘you [Acholi] are the ones who have made [President] Museveni win.’ Assuming that is true, but we have made Museveni win only once. But you have supported Museveni for over 30 years and we never demonised you for supporting Museveni. Why do you demonise us for supporting Museveni for one year? We didn’t demonise you for supporting Museveni because that is your right.
Why would you dance on Jacob Oulanyah’s grave just because you want political power? Acholi people are very forgiving people. But truly your 40 days will come.
