The Bazzukulu under the leadership of Chief Muzzukulu [SPA on Political Affairs also head Office of the National Chairman] Hajjat Hadijah Namyalo Uzeiye, on Friday 8th September, celebrated President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni and all the veterans who fought in the deadly Katonga battle.

The mega event that attracted thousands of people from all corners of Uganda was held at Kololo Airstrip where the Bazzukulu also celebrated Museveni’s 79th birthday.

Addressing his Bazzukulu, Museveni started by thanking the wise leadership of Hajjat Namyalo for remembering the contribution of Katonga veterans before he pledged to handle all their concerns as were tabled by the Chief Muzzukulu.
“I am glad the Bazzukulu agreed with the idea to unite my 79 years of life celebration with our struggle. In this case, the battles of September 1972 and 1985 (Katonga). I want to thank all those who fought in Katonga and the battles before,” he said.

The President narrated to the Bazzukulu that the turmoil that Uganda went through before the NRA captured power in 1986 could have been avoided if the then-leaders had listened to what the people were telling them.

“Ugandans should know those wars were totally unnecessary. We could have had total peace but some people decided to go for sectarianism. The suffering we went through could have been avoided. We could have negotiated and solved these issues without shedding blood but others didn’t want to listen to us and didn’t want democracy. That’s why we had to fight until we got victory,” Museveni said.

The President who is currently being asked to stand again in 2026, didn’t forget to remind his Bazzukulu on how they can secure the future they want through engaging themselves in commercial agriculture, industries and ICT in a bid to curb poverty from their homes.

“However, today’s challenge is to transform Uganda into a modern society. To achieve this, every Ugandan must join the money economy, and every young person should get the necessary education. There are two ways of creating a new society. One is by offering free education, and the second way is to stop working only for the stomach. We want everybody to work for the stomach but also for the pocket. This is how we shall get a modern society,” he added.

On her part, Hajjat Namyalo reminded the President that Bazzukulu will have no negotiations on his come back in 2026.

”Dear President we are here today in this huge number to remind you that we want you to come back in 2026 and lead us. On issues of your coming back, we have no negotiations with any person. We only know that it’s only you who is capable. Therefore, Omalayo Jajja, Tova Ku Ballot”, Hajjat Namyalo appealed to the President.
