A kingdom's prime minister just blended Christmas wishes with a pre-election checklist. The Katikkiro of Buganda, Charles Peter Mayiga, gave his holiday message after mass at Lubaga Cathedral, pushing people to follow the Kabaka's call for unity. He touched on several hot topics, starting with security forces needing to respect human rights to keep real peace. He also called for a clean election, telling the Electoral Commission to be honest and warning voters that money in politics wrecks democracy.
His speech covered practical issues too. He told folks to prepare for food shortages by storing harvests and using irrigation for farming. The Katikkiro condemned child sacrifice strongly, asking police to hunt down those responsible while telling parents to guard their kids better. He thanked Archbishop Paul Ssemogerere for the service and reminded everyone to celebrate without reckless accidents. Looking back, he said the past year was good for the kingdom, citing new health centers, nursery schools, more coffee farmers, and the fixed Kasubi Royal Tombs. The Archbishop's own sermon warned parents about kids having free internet access. A government minister at the event, John Muyingo, echoed the child safety point and asked for peace during the coming election season. The whole gathering drew a big crowd, including royalty, politicians like Robert Kyagulanyi, and other leaders.
