The people were used to Kabaka’s public appearance in most of Buganda Kingdom events like the Kabaka’s Birthday run, His birthday celebrations Bika Cup Tournament finals and Masaza Cup Finals. But for some months now he is not been appearing on these events which left questions in many people’s minds.
