The Katikkiro of Buganda Charles Peter Mayega has flown to the UK to officiate at a three-day unity convention for the Kabaka’s subjects in the diaspora.
The convention geared at fostering unity is code-named “Buganda Bumu European Convention” is to take place in London and is scheduled to run from September 13-15, 2024.
The Katikkiro set off on Wednesday with Mengo ministers and other kingdom officials. In an address to the media shortly before their departure, the Katikkiro said the convention is intended to serve as an official forum for educating Kabaka’s subjects on what is transpiring in the kingdom, and for them to inform Mengo what they are going through.
Mayiga added that through the forum, Buganda subjects in the diaspora will further be reminded about the five major points expected to restore Buganda’s glory, and to ensure that they move in conformity with the people at home.
The Katikkiro reported that this is a follow up of an earlier convention in the US, which he hailed for having done a great job in uniting Baganda living there, adding that today, they are keen players in supporting the Kingdom issues.
He disclosed that the London meet is to be rotated in European cities, adding that marks the beginning of such a trend.
