Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II celebrates his 68th Birthday
Born on April 13, 1955, the Kabaka of Buganda, Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II, Thursday 13th April 2023, marked his 68th birthday at the Lubiri Palace in Mengo.
The Kabaka arrived at the Lubiri at about midday. He was received by the Katikkiro of Buganda, Charles Peter Mayiga and Daudi Mpanga, the minister in charge of special assignments in the kingdom. By 10:00am, guests had started arriving at the palace for the birthday celebration.
Some of the guests that honoured the invitation included former katikkiros, Joseph Mulwanyammuli Ssemwogerere and Dan Muliika, Archbishop of Kampala Joseph Ssemogerere, Supreme Mufti Sheikh Muhammad Ggalabuzi, Archbishop of the Seventh-day Adventist Church Pastor Dr Moses Ndimukiika Maka and Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago. Pastor Dr Moses Ndimukiika Maka led the prayers.
Outside the palace, the king’s subjects cheered and jubilated. The most notable ones were those from Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba’s camp (MK Army), led by Balaam Barugahara.
They were all over the place, interrupting the traffic flow on Lubiri Ring Road. At some point, they clogged the entrance to the palace, blocking VIP guests. It took Kabaka’s security team to create normalcy.
The gigantic cake to savour at the Kabaka’s birthday. Yummy! The guests couldn’t wait for a slice.
Balaam and his MK team lived in the moment. They danced and cheered outside the palace. They celebrated Kabaka’s birthday in style.
