President Museveni has met with Omusinga Charles Wesley Mumbere and held discussions.
The two held a closed door meeting at State House in Entebbe on Wednesday but details about the meeting are still scanty.
“I held a meaningful discussion today at State House, Entebbe with His Highness Charles Wesley Mumbere, the Omusinga of the Rwenzururu Kingdom. I am happy that the kingdom has outlined new objectives centred around peace, reconciliation, and socio-economic transformation, aligning perfectly with our vision and historic mission in the NRM,” Museveni posted on his social media handles.
“These objectives were communicated to the Lukiiko during the restoration of kingdoms, emphasising the importance of guiding our African people toward sustainable prosperity through business and strategic security. We won’t compromise on this path. I’m delighted that during our meeting, we reached an understanding that we won’t repeat any regressive conflicts. Cultural heritage should continue to play a vital role, highlighting the interconnectedness of our people.”
This was the first meeting between Museveni and Omusinga since the attack on his palace in November 2016 by the army and a number of his royal guards killed.
Several others including the Omusinga were arrested and charges related to murder and terrorism slapped against them.
The charges were dropped this year after being granted amnesty.
President Museveni recently asked Omusinga to work with government to help deal with ADF especially in the Rwenzori region.
