The Chief Justice of Uganda, Alphonse Owiny Dollo has apologized to the Kabaka of Buganda and Buganda Kingdom at large over his alleged tribalistic remarks.
The chief justice has in a statement released on Monday, March 28, 2022, apologized to the Kabaka of Buganda for his statements, saying it was out of emotional rise that he made the irrational comments.
“I made a wrong and inappropriate reference to His Majesty the Kabaka of Buganda. I hereby unequivocally, unreservedly and of my free volition, wholly retract that reference and also hereby tender my apology to His Majesty, the Kabaka,” Dollo said Monday evening.
Last week, during the vigil for the late speaker Jacob Oulanyah, the CJ said that it was wicked for some people to protest the government decision to fly Oulanyah to the US when the “ethnic leader of one of the groups, King Ronald Muwenda Mutebi of Buganda Kingdom was at one time flown aboard the presidential jet to get treatment in Germany.”
Buganda Kingdom later retaliated Dollo’s statement through a press release by Katikkiro Charles Peter Mayiga, stating that the King has never used the presidential jet as had been earlier said by the CJ.
