Katikkiro Mayiga Inspects Omutima Clan Headquarters, Sets One-Year Completion Deadline

What the report says

The Katikkiro of Buganda, Charles Peter Mayiga, has inspected the under-construction Omutima Clan headquarters in Mutundwe and instructed that the project be finished within one year. According to Nile Post, Mayiga also chairs the committee overseeing the work and used the visit to review progress and thank people who have supported the build.

Mayiga said the project is important to the clan and to Buganda’s cultural structure more broadly, describing clans as a key part of the kingdom’s heritage. He also appealed to clan members and other supporters to honour their financial pledges, including by paying into the Stanbic Bank account linked to Bayanja Development Association. He asked Omutima Clan members to attend a gathering set for Saturday, November 14, to see the progress made so far.

The article says the site has reached the stage of casting the concrete slab, with columns already in place. The contractor reported that foundation work was complete and backfilling was under way. The project is intended to give the clan a permanent base for coordinating activities, strengthening unity and preserving cultural identity. In general, clan headquarters projects in Buganda often serve both administrative and symbolic roles, though the article focused mainly on the Omutima Clan’s current construction effort.
