EXPERIMENT
This one-year pilot study train service is run by Uganda Railways Corporation and Rift Valley Railways in partnership with Kampala Capital City Authority. Mr Brian Lugwire, the project manager at Uganda Railways, attributes the increasing passenger numbers to intensive marketing – and presumably a good job by its staff of 20 train attendants and cashiers.
“We got a marketing consultant firm on board that did most of the adverts and maybe our own people who have marketed it,” Lugwire says.
He adds that they are receiving passengers from different spheres of life and, therefore, are working on providing means suitable for all.
“We are in talks with Namboole stadium management to help us provide parking space for our clients who need to park their cars and use the train. We have written to them and we await their reply,” he says.
SECOND SHIFT
At 5:00pm, I am at Kampala train station to catch the train back to Namanve. Lugwire says this second trip mostly carries middle-class people leaving work. It is not as packed as the morning one, but the numbers are good. Most passengers get seats, although a few are standing as we leave at 5:30pm.
At the defined stopovers, a few get off as others get on. It is a quiet and relatively-smooth ride to Namanve, unlike the bumpy and tense morning shift. A few passengers order drinks like sodas and water on the train, and there is a toilet on board. We reach Namanve at 6:18pm, two minutes after the scheduled arrival time.
After a few minutes of clearing the cabins and switching engines, we are on our way back to Kampala to pick those waiting to take the last shift that leaves at 7:50pm. At the Kampala station, hundreds are waiting for the train: men, women, boys and girls. Some are on the metallic seats in the waiting area. Others are standing by the track, train tickets in hands .
Christine Nakkazi, a 26-year-old hairdresser, is sitting with her mother Stella Atenyi. Both are from work at their family salon in Kisenyi and are heading home to Mukono.
“I really hate the fact that the train station is very far away from the city centre,” Nakkazi tells me. “You have to walk all the way from Kisenyi to here if you do not have money for a boda boda.”
Her mother suggests that life would have been much easier if a passenger spot was fixed in the very heart of Kampala city beyond the train station to help passengers avoid boda boda costs or the long walks to the station.
“It would be even much better if the train goes past Namanve to Mukono,” the old woman says “Most of us who use it daily come from that side,”.
However Lugwire says this is just a pilot study and they are weighting both the positives and the negatives to evaluate it at the end of the one year.
“The marketing firm we hired is also responsible for collecting complaints of the customers so we can work on them after the pilot study,” he says.
As usual, the struggle to get a seat starts as soon as the train arrives. The merciless pushing at the entrance doesn’t spare me this time. Without any journalistic immunity, I instinctively push a few bodies aside – who push back.
“All of us are going to enter, I don’t see the reason why you people should push yourselves,” a female voice behind me shouts.
“Yes all of us will enter but some of us will be seated while others are standing,” says a voice from inside, its owner probably already seated .Passengers in the 5.30pm train at the Kampala station
By the time I get in, all the seats are taken. I have to stand all the way. Having been on all the shifts in the day, the last one is undoubtedly my best. From the look of things, it carries the biggest number of people in the day. A quick head count in my coach suggests we are at least 180 talkative passengers.
Uganda Cranes, Besigye and Museveni dominate conversations, while the quiet passengers lock their tired faces to their mobile phone screens. It is 7:40pm and we have been in the stationary train for 30 minutes now. Many passengers complain because we are not setting off. Others standing with me are already getting tired.
On my right is Justus Okello, a 65-year-old Luweero war veteran, who can’t get anyone to offer him a seat.
“I am from hospital. See, here are my malaria drugs,” Okello says, showing me a white paper bag containing various tablets.
Looking around, I see a wall notice about seats reserved for pregnant women and old people. I approach the young man sitting directly below the notice and explain Okello’s situation and why he needs to give up his seat for the old man.
“Who told him to come in late? Let him stand,” the boy replies.
Just then, at 7:58pm, the train hoots, and we crawl out of the station.
“Is this the speed at which this thing travels?” a woman asked her neighbour who answers jokingly in the affirmative. However a few seconds later, the train gains speed, making the usual stopovers.
Strangely, I feel quietly proud each time the train crosses the road with vehicles stuck in traffic. Quite many passengers alight at Namboole, giving me a seat next to two girls in their senior six vacation. Mariam and Jamillah Ahmed are going to Namanve and have never used the train before but the events of the day forced the sisters to.
“We dropped our money in town, luckily enough we remained with Shs 3,000,” Mariam says. “Because the taxis were asking for Shs.2,500 from each of us, we decided to use the cheaper train.”
They are surprised that many people use the train which they have always ignored. At 8:40pm, the train, nearly empty, grinds to a halt at Namanve, where it will stay till tomorrow morning. As I walk down a dark road to the Kampala-Jinja highway to pick a taxi home, my mind flashes back to last December.
Not many gave the train a chance when it launched. Indeed, many people still think no one uses the train in Kampala. But today, from clinical officer Musa Kiguli who braves the morning cold, hospital patient Justus Okello, to desperate sisters Mariam and Jamillah, I have travelled with happy train users. For helping them to save time and money, and avoid stressful traffic jams, this train is a blessing.

The first ever 17-gun-salute in Uganda was in 1907 in honour of the visiting Secretary of Colonies to the Uganda Protectorate. The gun salute was shot, not by Ugandans, but by Sikh soldiers who had mounted the guard of honour.
The secretary (minister) for British colonies, Sir Winston Churchill, embarked on a tour of the territory outside Great Britain but under the British Empire. Among the places he visited is what is currently known as Uganda.
Coming through the east coast, through Kenya and onto Lake Victoria up to Port Alice (Entebbe), Churchill reached the then government seat (British administration base in Entebbe in the Protectorate of Buganda (Ganda Kingdom) on November 18, 1907, where he was received by then colonial administrator Sir Hesketh Bell.
On his visit, Churchill informed his host that he had been elevated to the title of governor, and he was the guest of honour at his installation at a ceremony presided over by the principal judge in Kampala Judge Ennis.
After a two days’ rest in Entebbe, Churchill in the company of resident governor Bell travelled to Kampala where triumphal arches were erected on the roads entering Kampala. Shops were decorated with flowers and banana leaves to welcome him.
According to the Uganda Notes of December 1907 (the newspaper of the time) when in Kampala, Churchill inspected a guard of honour mounted by the Sikh.
At the coronation hall he met all Europeans in Uganda before attending a special sitting of the Lukiiko (Buganda parliament).
Four-day visit
During the four-day visit, he toured the Church Missionary Society in Mengo and the Roman missionary bases in Rubaga and Nsambya before going on to visit the only factory in the country at that time belonging to the Uganda Company.
According to the Uganda Notes of December 1907, Churchill paid homage to the Kabaka at his palace at Lubiri and met with the local chiefs in Buganda. The next day, he paid a visit to Kabaka Daudi Chwa II for the second time in two days where a Ganda war dance was performed in his honour, and he was presented with two spears and a shield, and he addressed the Lukiiko. Below is his full speech:
“I am very glad indeed to come to Uganda. I am glad to be here upon an occasion which is one of importance in the history of this country.
His Most Gracious Majesty king has been pleased to raise his excellency from the rank of commissioner to that of governor, that is a recognition of the high esteem in which the services of his excellency is held.
It is also a recognition of Uganda amongst the possession of the British Crown, but that the alteration in the position of his excellency involves as he has told you, no alteration whatever in the position of the government he regulates.
The basis of these regulations is the Uganda agreement-a human document and like all earthly things it is not perhaps in every way perfect, but it is a bargain and guarantee and it will faithfully be observed by both sides.
Rights and liberties
The chiefs who are gathered together here today need have no fear that it will be encroached upon or melted away.
So long as they themselves and the people of Uganda faithfully adhere to their portion of the contract. Under the agreement, all their rights and liberties are guaranteed and all their lands, possessions and ancient privileges.
Under the agreement they may preserve all their old grace and simplicity of their lives which has always so honourably distinguished the Waganda people.
The power of the British government is great.
It’s not easy to measure or describe how great that power is, but that powerful government will be the friends and staunch friends of Uganda and its people.
The Baganda chiefs must look upon the British government as their friend and guide.
As a sharp sword against their enemies and as a power always anxious to promote the prosperity of their people in times of trouble, in times of famine, in times of pestilence, and the just of the British Crown will be very evenly administered between all classes and all those who come under the authority of the king.
Therefore, let them take heart and labour reverently and piously with the government and help the governor to the advancement of the people committed to their charge.
I offer them my largest congratulations upon the elevated degree of civilisation and advancement to which they have already attained.
When I return to England I shall tell His Majesty the King how beautiful their country is and how good its people are.
That’s all I have to say.”
Way to the Sudan
From Lubiri, Churchill went to open Mengo Boys High School, now Mengo S.S.
From Mengo Boys High School, he headed straight to Munyonyo to board a boat to take him across the Nile on his way to the Sudan. On his journey up north, he saw the other part of Uganda beyond the Buganda region he had seen, taking time to travel inland other than on water alone.
Upon his return home in 1908, he wrote a book about his journey which had started from the Cape in South Africa and ended in Cairo.
In his book, My African Journey, he says “My journey is at an end, the tale has been told. The reader who has followed so faithfully and so far has a right to ask what message I bring back. It can be stated in three words concentrate on Uganda.”
He went on to say, ” …in my view in spite of its insects and diseases, it ought in the course of time, to become the most prosperous of all our East African possessions and perhaps the financial driving wheel of this part of the world.”
So impressed he was with the natural vegetation and potential of the country compared to the rest he toured all the way from the Cape to Cairo that he continued to write in his book that “My counsel plainly is- concentrate on Uganda!
Nowhere else in Africa will little money go so far…Uganda is from end to end a ‘beautiful garden’ where ‘staple food’ of the people grows fast without labour.
Does it not sound like paradise on earth? It is the pearl of Africa.”
He went on to write, “For magnificence, for variety of form and colour, for profusion or brilliant life-bird, insect, reptile, beast- for vast scale- Uganda is truly the Pearl of Africa.”
“The Kingdom of Uganda is a fairy tale. The scenery is different, the climate is different and most of all, the people are different from anything elsewhere to be seen in the whole range of Africa…what message I bring back...concentrate upon Uganda.”
Churchill’s speech at opening of Mengo Boys High School
“Your excellency, your highness, my lord ladies and gentlemen, I am very much obliged to His Excellency and to all of you for according me the honour of opening this high school upon the occasion of my flying visit to Uganda.
I can hardly believe until looking at the excellent map provided on the wall, no doubt for that purpose that we are all gathered together here in the heart of Africa.
I am amazed at the spectacular before me and it is one that will be fixed upon my mind and I think that the greatest honour and the greatest respect is due to all those who have done so great a work whether they be representatives of the imperial government, or whether they be the native rulers and chiefs who aid the imperial government in their work or those engaged in fulfilling the purpose of the mission.
In most recent times a large, healthy strong, useful and religious work is daily and hourly lifting the masses of the people from the ordinary toil and routine of life to the contemplation of a world beyond our own.
I am aware that opinions are divergent and men differ as to advantages and disadvantages of missionary enterprise conducted in many parts of the world.
And you my Lord Bishop are centrally not unaware of the fact your work has its critics and difficulties, but I venture to think that serious objections may sometimes be given by the voice of prejudice.
And I think furthermore, that there is no part of the country’s enterprise in which more imminent difficulties have been overcome, and in which the results attained have been a grater reward for those who conducted the missionary work.
Here we have in Uganda an island of hope and progress in the very heart of the Dark Continent and I think as British people come to know more and I hope I shall be one of those to take part in telling them of the results which have been here achieved, their interest, sympathy, and support will be given in an increasing measure to you and on a far larger scale.
And I think when we find these people clothed amid the barbarous races which surround them, anxious to glean information and knowledge from all other races with when they get into contact, it seems to me to be to be a most solemn and scared duty to be impressed upon the British people to shield and guard the natives of Uganda from any danger and peril or suffering which may visit their homes.
I shall certainly carry away with me a vivid impression of those things and shall certainly not neglect to bring it before the colonial office, and I trust that if any difficulties arise in the conduct of their work, I shall be made acquainted at the colonial office through His Excellency the governor.
I understand that the duty His Excellency the governor has placed upon me by his usual kindness and courtesy is to open this school.
I declare this school which has been constructed and which has already been I understand from Mr Gills a reputation of high standard of educational excellency to be open and I hope the boys educated here will as the bishop has said acquire not merely the education of letters and words but also the education of practical things and useful and technical acquirements or at any rate will acquire the facility for comprehending those strong principles of character which will make them straight forward and trustworthy persons fit to be the props and pillars of the people of Uganda, to help and guide others who without those props and pillars would not have been able to develop prosperity.
Who was Churchill?
Born November 30, 1874, to Winston Leonard Spencer and Randolph Churchill at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, his first exposure to education was in Dublin though he went on to three different schools before joining Sandhurst to start his childhood ambition of a military career which he had been exposed to at a tender age in Dublin.
While at school, he realised he had a stutter and a lisp. The lisp continued throughout his career, with Churchill describing himself as having a “speech impediment” which he worked to overcome.
He went on to say “my impediment is no hindrance”. He married Clementine Hozier in 1908 with whom they had five children.
He became Conservative MP in 1900, only to cross to the Liberal Party four years later, re-joining government from 1919-1929.
In 1941, he received the honour of being appointed Regimental Colonel which was increased after the Second World War when he was appointed Colonel in chief; a privilege usually reserved for members of the royal family.
According to biographer Roy Jenkins, Churchill took interest in war correspondence as a way of increasing his income from the annual £300.
His writings brought him to the attention of the public, and earned him significant additional income.
He acted as a war correspondent for several London newspapers and wrote his own books about the campaigns. It was while in Cuba reporting for the Daily Graphic, on the Cuban war of independence that he acquired a taste for Havana cigars, which he smoked for the rest of his life.
Churchill was transferred to Egypt in 1898 and served in the Sudan. While in the Sudan, he participated in what has been described as the last meaningful British Calvary charge at the battle of Omdurman.
Churchill was opposed to India’s self-rule, and he was the first leader to warn the world of the rise of Nazis in Germany. He cemented his war leadership during the Second World War after becoming a prime minister.
He is the only British prime minister to have had two different terms. When he lost power in 1945, he bounced back as a prime minister in 1951 until 1955.
He died on January 24, 1964, and was given a state burial.
In 2002, Winston was voted the best Briton of all times by the British population.
hlubega@ug.nationmedia.comHow Catholic religion took root in Buganda(Uganda):
The then Rubaga Cathedral 1897. Kabaka Mwanga gave the
Catholic Missionaries land at Rubaga where another mission
was opened.ByHenry LubegaPosted Sunday, June 28 2015
During the two years and eight months that the missionaries were out of Buganda, there were leadership changes that took place. Kabaka Muteesa died on October 10, 1884, and Mwanga took the throne.
It was during Muteesa’s reign that Islam, Catholicism and Protestantism came to Buganda and later spread to the rest of the territory. Although he welcomed all the three religions, Muteesa never fully subscribed to any of them, and neither was he openly hostile to any of them.
Despite him not committing to any of the religions, Muteesa did not stop his subjects from subscribing to any faith of their choice.
Enter Mwanga
Mwanga ascended to the throne at a tender age of 18 when the kingdom was going through hard times. Colonialists were making inroads into the kingdom and the new Christian converts were turning to a different supreme king to believe in and follow than the palace king.
Besides, the different factions were doing their best to endear themselves to the king.
Faced with such challenges, some historians branded Mwanga a weak king, as compared to those Buganda had before him.
His ascendance to the throne gave the exiled missionaries hope that their return will be eminent with the new king since he had been their sympathiser when he was still a prince.
According to The Beginning of the White Fathers’ Mission in Southern Uganda and the Organisation of the Catechumenate 1879-1914, a history publication series by the Society of Missionaries of Africa, “ten days after his [Mwanga’s] installation, he sent messengers to the missionaries, inviting them to return.”
By the time they were sent away, the missionaries had only baptised 15 people with another 400 at different stages of baptismal training.
There was fear that with the absence of the Catholic missionaries, the new converts would easily be absorbed into the Church Missionary Society and become Anglicans. This did not happen.
Despite the little classifications created by the religions, Baganda converts were of the same socio-political standing. There were, however, back and forth movements to the different regions by converts.
Writing in the book Growth and Crisis of Buganda Monarchy in the Nineteenth Century, Médard. H said: “Almost all the first Christians have been Muslims for a while. In general, the first Catholics were not only ex-Muslims, but also ex-Protestants.”
With the missionaries gone, the few converts continued practising their faith but cautiously.
According to Hastings’ book From Mission to Church in Buganda, he says: “During this period without pastors, it is noteworthy that, instead of disappearing, the group of Catholics survived and grew without the assistance of any missionary. They were grouped around what we might call four ‘house churches’.”
These house churches were in different locations, with each house having a different leader.
Some of these leaders were the first Baganda to be baptised by the missionaries before they were forced out of the kingdom. One such group was led by Joseph Mukasa Balikuddembe, assisted by Jean Marie Muzeyi, and later by Charles Lwanga.
Another group, based in Nateete, was led by Andrea Kaggwa and deputised by Mathieu Kasule.
The two leaders, besides being Christian converts, held important offices at the palace.
Kaggwa was the chief musician while Kasule was the head of the forges. Luka Bannakintu and Matia Kalemba were based in Mityana while Yosefu Kaddu led a church house in Kitomu in Bulemezi. All these church house leaders had been baptised by the missionaries, except Kaggwa and Muzeyi.
As some converts stayed to carry on with preaching from where the missionaries had left, others like Paulo Nalubandwa, Karoli Buuza and his brother Cypriano Mutagwanya, and Gabriel Kintu went out in search of the missionaries in Tanzania.
They went as far as Tabora were Lourdel had opened a mission post.
Return of the missionaries
Having received Mwanga’s invitation, the missionaries stared the long trek back to Uganda in November 1884. Father Lourdel, Brother Amans and Father Giraud, a new missionary priest, docked at Entebbe on July 12, 1885.
The trio was received at the palace and they continued from where they had stopped. Upon their return, the king was very kind to them and their expectations of their mission were high until 1885.
The young king’s kindness soon evaporated and the missionaries became very anxious about what the future held for them. They had learnt that while they were away, the young king had ordered for the killing of three Anglican servants.
The death of Bishop Hannington in October 1885 also provoked the assassination of Joseph Mukasa Balikuddembe, who was the guide of the Christians at court.
According to The Beginning of the White Fathers’ Mission in Southern Uganda, history series number nine: “Mukasa had reproached the king with this murder, and he was suspected of having communicated to the missionaries the state secret.”
These were troubled times and Lourdel, aware of the threat, agreed to baptise more readily those who requested baptism, even if they had not completed four years of training. From November 1885 onwards, Christians and catechumens came to the mission at night.
By May 1886, the king’s kindness had turned into rage, in that between May 25 and 30, a combined number of 12 Catholic and Anglican Christians were killed.
A week later, on June 3, 1886, 13 Catholics and 13 Protestants were burnt alive at Namugongo. Many of those burnt had been baptised by fellow converts after their arrest before the final journey to Namugongo.
Mwanga’s anger, according to The Beginning of the White Fathers’ Mission in Southern Uganda, was not restricted to his palace alone
“Mwanga also sent soldiers outside the capital, to Mityana, among other places. There is no doubt that many other Christians were killed, but the exact number is unknown. At the end of January 1887, the Kabaka seems to have grown calmer and the persecution ceased,” the book said.
Missionaries and palace coups of 1888
In mid-1888, Kabaka Mwanga tried to gain firmer control over the new regiments he had founded two years earlier. Others say he wished to eliminate them.
As a result, a Christian coalition led by Honorat Nyonyintono and Apollo Kaggwa in conjunction with Muslim units chased Mwanga from his throne on September 10, 1888, and replaced him with his brother Kiwewa.
It was a coup d’état and an event with far-reaching long-term implications which brought about this coalition. It was the start of the weakening of royal power and the transfer of political power to a group of young leaders who, for the most part, adhered to the new ‘imported’ religions.
Writing in the book Crisis and Growth, H. Médard says: “October 1888 opened a new leaf of religion in Buganda. That is when the link between political power and religion started with the coups d’état.
Religion was at the heart of military-political groupings, and this situation was to be for generations, the cement of socio-political positions in Buganda.”
He goes on to say: “At first, it was just a matter of rivalry for power between chiefs; later this was translated into opposition between armed and structured political parties, which were called bafransa and bangeleza.”
“The origin and internal cohesion of these parties was generally religious, even when their goal was political power. From then on, access to power and the associated privileges was achieved, not by favour of the king, but from religious political parties.”
Beneficiaries of the coup
It’s the missionaries who were the first beneficiaries of the coup. The involvement of the Christian chiefs in the coup brought many new sympathisers to the faith.
However, soon after the alliance between the Christians and the Muslims broke, the Muslims turned against the Catholic missionaries, taking advantage of their superior army.
With a better army, in October of the same year, the Muslims engineered another coup which led to another round of expulsion of all Christian missionaries from Buganda.
Writing in the book African Slavery and Europe Volume Two, Archbishop Lavigerie says after the Muslims seized power on October 10, 1888, Bishop Livinhac, fathers Lourdel and Denoit and Brother Amans were imprisoned by one of the Muslim chiefs.
With the Muslims in power, they installed another king, Kalema, and during this time, they stripped the missionaries of all their possessions and had some of the missions burned down.
For the second time, Catholics of Buganda were left without priests and the mission closed while others were burnt down. Those who took on the leadership mantle of the Christians were military leaders who had either engaged with the Muslims before or fought against fellow Christians.
Under the leadership of the Catholic and Protestant chiefs, Nyonyintono and Apollo Kaggwa respectively, the Christian armed groups who had been driven out of Buganda by the Muslim army to Kabula, then part of Ankole, reorganised and made a forceful comeback to Buganda. With their return so did Kabaka Mwanga.
To show his appreciation to the Christian armies upon his return to the palace in Kampala, Kabaka Mwanga gave the catholic missionaries land at Rubaga where another mission was opened.
Fr Lourdel went ahead to lay a foundation stone for the construction of the new church on the land given to them by Kabaka Mwanga. Unfortunately, a few weeks after that, on May 12, 1890, he died.
His death did not deter the increase in new converts flocking to the mission to start baptism classes.
Ancestors in faith
In 1974, Archbishop Nsubuga (pictured) took the opportunity of a journey to Europe to visit the birthplaces and the surviving relatives of the first five Catholic missionaries who arrived in Uganda in 1879.
On his return to Uganda, he decided that, to remain true to the traditions of Buganda, these five missionaries, “our ancestors in the faith”, as he called them, ought to be buried in Buganda.
“We consider it a right and a duty to bring, their remains back to the land for which they have died, with no other purpose than that of giving us the message of Christ,” said the archbishop.
He added: “Let us be real Ugandans and by seeing to our Fathers in the Faith who died years ago for us, as real Ugandans see to their beloved dead, we will bring to our country the blessings of God. This whole exercise is basically a very religious and Ugandan gesture.”
With the kind assistance of president Amin’s office in Kampala, the various governments concerned gave their authorisation and the archbishop travelled in turn to Zanzibar and Bagamoyo where Fr Barbot and Br Amans respectively had been buried, then to Algiers where the remains of Archbishop Livinhac were resting in the cathedral.
An interesting detail noticed by many was that the remains of these three arrived at Entebbe close to the spot where, as young missionaries, they had landed for the first time 95 years earlier.

Bw’ati bw’agamba Omukama; Nja kusitula akabi kakujjire nga kava mu nju yo mwennyini; nja kuddira bakazi bo nga naawe olaba, mbawe munno, alyebaka ne bakazi bo ng’enjuba eno etunula eti! Ggwe wakola mu nkukutu, nze kino nja kukikola nga Yisraeli yenna alaba, n’enjuba ng’etunula eti: Daudi n’agamba Natani nti: Ekibi nnakikola Mukama! Natani n’agamba Daudi, nti: Omukama naye Yisraeli yenna akusonyiye ekibi kyo, tojjja kufa! Kyokka olw’okuba ojooze Omukama ng’okola ekigambo ekyo, omwana akuzaaliddwa ajja kufa. Awo Natani n’adda ewuwe! Omukama n’akuba omwana, muka Uriya gwe yali azaalidde Daudi n’alwala nnyo. Daudi n’awolereza nnyo omwana eri Omukama, n’asiibira ddala nnyo, n’adda eka n’amala ekiro kyonna ng’agalamidde ku ttaka ejjerereere nga yeebisse kkutiya.

Ogamba ono muntu ani? Olaba omuyaga n’ennyanja bimuwulira.
Ebigambo by’Evanjiri ya Mukama waffe Yezu Kristu ebivudde mu Marko. (4, 35 – 41)
Mu budde buli, obudde bwe bwawungeera, Yezu n’abagamba nti: Tuwunguke, tulage eri emitala w’ennyanja. Bwe baamala okusiibula ekibiina ne bamutwala nga bw’abadde mu lyato, n’amato amalala ne gagenda naye. Omuyaga mungi ne gujja, amayengo ne gayiika mu lyato, eryato ne lijjula amazzi. Ye yali yeebase mu kiwenda ku kigugu; ne bamuzuukusa, ne bamugamba nti: Muyigiriza, tofaayo ng’olaba tufa? N’agolokoka, Omuyaga n’aguboggolera, n’ennyanja n’agigamba nti: Sirika, towuuna! Omuyaga ne gukoma, ne guba mulaala nnyo. N’abagamba nti: Mutidde ki? Timunnafuna kukkiriza? Ne batya n’okutya kungi; ne bagambagana nti: Ogamba ono muntu ani? Olaba omuyaga n’ennyanja bimuwulira? Ebyo Omukama y’abyogera.

Bya Nyanzi Ssentamu
Okwerumaluma n’entalo ezitatadde zisusse mu Ssetendekero w’Obwakabaka bwa Buganda erya Muteesa I Royal University. Ssetendekero ono yatandikibwa okuyamba abaana ba Buganda n’abalala okusobola okufuna eby’enjigiriza ebirungi. Bukyanga etandika, entalo teziggwa.
Abakozi abamu balowooza nti omulimo gwabwe omukulu kugoba bakama baabwe okusingira ddala akulira Ssentendekero (Vice Chancellor). Buli budde bawoza Vice Chancellor alemeddwa. Vice Chancellor omulala bw’ajja ate nga bagamba oli avuddeko abadde mukozi nnyo naye ono bimulamye.
Abakozi bano oluusi abawagirwa abakulu e Mmengo wamu n’abo abali ku kakiiko ka university akafuzi ab’enoonyeza ebyabwe oba okulwana entalo n’abo beba tebakiriziganya nabo. Abantu bano balowooza nti okumalawo obuzibu bwonna mu Ssetendekero eno balina kwediima. Kyeberabidde nti abayizi bwebatava mu kwekalakaasa, olwo Ssentendekero eba egwa. Abasomesa bwebediima ng’ekibediimya tekiriiwo, baba berabidde endagaano zaabwe. Omusomesa bw’oba owulira nti omulimo gukulemye, lwaki tossaamu empapula n’ogenda ewalala?
Okugeza, Vice Chancellor aliko kati Pulofeesa Arthur Sserwanga yasanga abakozi bamaze emyezi mukaaga nga tebasasulwa. N’akola kyonna ekisoboka okulaba nti bafuna ssente zaabwe era weetwogerera abasomesa babanja omwezi gumu gwokka. Naye bwebavaawo nti bimulemye. Bimulema bitya nga temubanja? Oba mwe abamulemesa?
Ekituufu kiri nti abakozi bangi bali bawandiikibwa mu Ssetendekero era n’ebitongole by’Obwakabaka ebirala si lwakuba nti bali basomye nnyo oba balina obukugu obwamaanyi wabula kubanga baali balina bebamanyi era nti kubanga bagazi ba Ssaabasajja Kabaka ekiyitiridde. Katikkiro Charles Peter Mayiga aze aky’ogera buli lukedde nti ku mulembe guno, okwagala Kabaka nga kye kyokka ky’olina tekimala. Weetaaga okwagala Kabaka naye nga n’obusobozi obulina obusaanidde okubeera mu kifo ekyo.
Ssetendekero bw’eteeka emirimo mu mpapula z’amawulire abakozi basabe ebifo ebisava ng’amyuka akulira yunivasite oba muyite Deputy Vice Chancellor abakozi bangi abakola kati tebasobola kufuna kifo ekyo. Waliwo amateeka agayisibwa ekitongole ekifuga amatendekero aga waggulu gonna mu ggwanga ekya National Council for Higher Education kyegagoberera omuntu okusobola okubeera omumyuka wa akulira Ssettendekero. Naye abakozi bameka kati abali mu Muteesa I ab’egwanyiza agafo agasava ng’ago abalina okukugu?
Abasomesa tebagaala kola kunonyereeza (research) ne bawandiika ebyo bye banonyereezza kibasoboze okutuuka ku maddaala ag’obwa pulofeesa. Bw’oba towandiika kufulumya bitabo oba empapula ebiraga nti olina amagezi ag’enjawulo g’otaddewo (academic papers in peer reviewed journals), tosobola kufuuka pulofeesa oba kugenda ku ddaala ddala. Abasomesa bameka abakoze kino? Bakola kimu kyakuwandiika zi kiro kitwala omunaku mu kifo ky’okukola ebisobola okubongera mu bukugu.
Pulofeesa Sserwanga yasanga ebizibu bingi mu Ssetendekero eno era okujjako amabanja g’abasomesa, yunivasite yalina amabanja amalala mangi nnyo naye nga kati gasasuddwa. Kino ky’ava ku kuteekawo enkola abayizi mwebayitira nga basasulira ssente mu bbanka. Edda, abayizi ssente bazireetanga mu woofiisi. Olwo abakola mu woofiisi zino nebalyoka bazikozesa nga bwe bagaala.
Ekirala Pulofeesa Sserwanga yateekaawo enkola enungamu yunivasite mw’eyita okugula ebintu oba mu luzungu kyebayita Procurement Policy. Oli kati tamala gasalawo nti tugule kino oba kiri era tukigule kw’ani. Emitendera gino gyamalawo abakozi abali betandikidde bu kkampuni obw’omunsawo okufuna emirimo mu yunivasite.
Okujjawo enkola eyo abakozi ba yunivasite abamu mwe bafuniranga nga bakozesa ssente nga bwebagaala kye kimu ku bizibu Pulofeesa Sserwanga by’alina. Abakozi bano balowooza nti bw’avaawo olwo enkola enkadde eddamu olwo nebafuna ssente nga bwebagaala.
Ebirungi bingi ebitukiidwako nga Sserwanga ali mu woofiisi omuli n’okuteekawo amasanyalaze g’enjuba (solar power) okukendeeza ku miwendo emingi yunivasite gyeyasasulanga buli mwezi. Omuyizi kati bw’atikkirwa agenda ne bbaluwa ye mu ngalo ku lunaku olwo lwe nyinni. Amatendekero g’ebya sayansi gaafuna ebikozesebwa eby’omulembe ddala wamu n’ebirala bingi.
Tekisaanye kulowoozebwa nti ebizibu bya Ssetendekero ono bigwawo abagikulira ettendekero bwe bagobwa nga tewali nsonga nambulukufu bulungi oba abamu ku batuula ku kakiiko akafuzi (university council) bwebakuma mu bayizi n’abakozi omuliro okwekalakaasa.
Bwetuba twagala Ssetendekero ono akule era avuganye tulina kuleetawo enkola esobozesa ebintu okutambula so si kulwanagana nakukozesa bifo byaffe okukola obukundi. Abaganda basaana bamanye nti abantu bajja kubanenya olw’okusuula ettendekero lino kubanga twagala okuganyulwa ng’abantu okusinga nyaffe Buganda.
Omuwandiisi mugobelezi w’eby’enjigiriza mu Buganda
