Katikkiro Tasks Lubaga South MP Nassolo With Championing Buganda's Interests

What the report says

Nile Post reports that Buganda Kingdom Katikkiro Charles Peter Mayiga has asked newly elected Lubaga South MP Eugenia Nassolo to use her role in Parliament to advance the Kingdom’s interests, including its long-standing call for a federal system of governance often referred to as Federo. The remarks were made during a courtesy visit by Nassolo to the Kingdom headquarters at Bulange, where she introduced her family and spoke about her campaign and election win.

According to the report, Nassolo attended the meeting with her husband, children and other relatives. She said she remains committed to serving the Kabaka and the Kingdom, while also representing all residents of Lubaga South. She also said she would take part in parliamentary debates and support issues affecting Buganda’s representatives.

Mayiga congratulated her on the victory and noted her previous involvement in Kingdom activities in Uganda and abroad, including efforts to mobilise Baganda living outside the country and support the Ettoffaali initiative. He stressed that MPs’ core duty is to represent constituents’ concerns in Parliament, rather than to personally provide services such as roads, school fees or burial expenses. He also urged Nassolo to advocate for fair resource allocation for Buganda. The meeting reflects the Kingdom’s continued expectation that political leaders defend Buganda’s interests while carrying out their national legislative responsibilities.
