Radio Free Buganda Makes History, Broadcasts Live From Butambala

Boston USA based Radio Free Buganda made history when the commemoration of Kabaka Mutebi’s coronation live from the Butambala County  for at least 4 hours on Friday and Saturday.  The RFB broadcasts were especially important because, according to our sources in broadcasting, the NRM occupation government’s Robert Kabushenga ordered all major new organizations in Uganda not to report on the huge crowds in Butambala. Bukedde was allowed to report on the Kabaka’s tour of Butambala but not to include crowd sizes or live pictures. So, Free Buganda Radio was the only totally channel independent of the NRM occupation government that reported the celebrations live.  The local correspondent on the ground, Eddie Mulyanyamumwa, who was speaking live on www.ekibakibe.com by phone said:  “Nze simanyi nnyo kubala bantu, naye kirabika abantu bassuka emitwaalo nga ena” (“I am not an expert at counting people but it appears that there are at least 40,000 people”). The Kabaka was officially welcomed by the Butambala County chief, Twaha Lwanyaga, who introduced all the remaining 17 county chiefs. Other important Buganda figures present included the Katikkiro JB Walusimbi, princes and princesses, Buganda cabine members, Omutaka Nakirembeka, Alan Waliggo, all the Gombolola chiefs in Butambala and many others. The Radio Free Buganda anchor in Boston, Mr. Robert Kabuye, inserted some humor in the long broadcast during the prayers. This is when one Reverend Matovu prayed for NRM’s president Museveni for “restoring the Buganda Kingdom”. Upset by the NRM propaganda from Reverend Matovu, Mr. Kabuye inserted his voice in the feed from Butambala and said: “Eyo esaala esabira Museveni atta abantu? Oyo omusumba wa NRM. ” (“A prayer for Museveni   who is killing people? That clergyman is an NRM.”) For more details on Radio Free Buganda and Ekiba Kibe live broadcasts and replays go to: http://www.ekibakibe.com.
