The monumental project, which is spearheaded by the Bataka (clan heads) of Buganda, is part of a broader initiative to support cultural institutions and foster national unity. “Therefore, I’m very happy to support Bataka,” said President Museveni. President Museveni also recalled his decades-long relationship with the Buganda Kingdom, tracing it back to 1981 when he met Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi in London. I told him then that I saw no problem if we’re clear on who can do what between us—the new forces—and the traditionalists,” President Museveni said. He also thanked President Museveni for the Shs 200 million previously donated to the Bataka SACCO.
