Body of Mpologoma clan head stuck in funeral home as dispute over burial site deepens

A fresh dispute is simmering between Mpologoma (Lion) clan leaders in Buganda Kingdom and Maj. Gen Elly Kayanja, with the former accusing the retired army officer of blocking them from utilizing their ancestral land.

It is at this disputed one square mile land located on Block 91, Kyadondo at Lwadda Hill in Matugga, Nansana Municipality, Wakiso District where Mpologama clan leaders are buried.

The latest disagreement, clan leaders claim has jeopardized the burial arrangements for clan head Namuguzi Wilson Ssebuganda who passed away on August 14, forcing them keep the body at a funeral home.

“When we converged in the area last weekend to make preparations for our leader‘s final send off , like parking space, police on the orders of Gen Kayanja stopped us claiming that we were trespassing on a private property. Between us and Gen Kayanja, who is a trespasser?” Mr John Patrick Kisekka, Mpologoma clan premier, wondered in an interview on Thursday morning.

The disputed land at Lwadda Village-Matugga in Nansana Municipality, Wakiso District is where Mpologoma clan leaders are buried.
