On 28 of December 2024 the Umukuka lll His Highness Jude Mike Mudoma,the Umukuka lll of the Bamasaba people made cabinet changes dropping off his Prime minister and other ministers in the cabinet of the Bamasaba cultural institution.
The spokesprson of the Bamasaba cultural institution Mr Steven Masiga told this website that there were various reasons for relieving them of responsibility.
The Umukuka lll was Persuaded and guided by Art 246(f) which discourages cultural leaders or his agents from participating in politics and this is further buttressed by the Cultural Leaders Act 2011 forexample sec.12(3)(d)states that any employee of the cultural or traditional institution shouldn’t engage in partisan politics.
‘’Many of those relived of responsibilities were active party members or chairpersons of political parties and where holding political party cards , as former Parliamentary contestants or Lcv contestants forexample Hon Makweta Allan is a national unity platform (NUP) Parliamentary contestant which Position is an affront on various legal grounds’’, said Masiga.
While others like Former Kumi Resident District commissioner Ahamada washaki had become controversial instead of serving in his portfolio of reconciliation, he was reportedly busy engaged in intrigue against the cultural institution including constructive disengagement ,or self dismissal when he chose not to address himself as inzuyamasaba official in various cultural related meetings .
‘’He refused to work on the requests of the Acholi king where he was supposed to mediate in a murder dispute between Umumasaaba and an Acholi who was killed by Umumasaba in line with the Bamasaba cultural protocols and the Acholi maoputo ( local Acholi reconciliation) this was supposed to be resolved through blood compensation which he failed to manage and yet the Umukuka had assigned him the reconciliation docket .He failed to work for his cultural institution and was seen as being insubordinate by the cultural Leader’’. said a source.
The Laws that creates cultural institutions forexample the constitution of Republic of Uganda and other operative laws like the traditional and cultural Leaders Act 2011 as amended empower Umukuka to assemble manpower to help him execute the roles of a cultural institution and he, is therefore at liberty to fire and hire as well on behalf of the institution.
