Chief Justice Owiny Dollo Meets Mayiga at Mengo

Recently Dollo apologized to the Kabaka of Buganda, Ronald Muwenda Mutebi, over his remarks that the king was airlifted for treatment in Germany in a presidential aircraft.

However, accompanied by the former UPC President Olara Otunu, among other dignitaries, Owiny Dollo was today received by Katikkiro Charles Peter Mayiga, who introduced him to the Buganda officials and religious leaders present.

In a closed-door meeting with the Katikkiro, Dolo apologized to the Kabaka.

After the meeting, the CJ and the Katikkiro addressed the media, and the former said they came in peace and they are leaving knowing they are closer.

“After this, we are better people than before the meeting. I thank the delegation that accompanied me here. This is proof that we can resolve differences between us amicably as people than if it was my victory against the Katikkiro or the Katikkiro against me.”he said.

The Katikkiro, in his remarks commended the Chief Justice for his courage.

I hosted the Chief Justice His Lordship Alfonse Owiny Dollo at Bulange this morning.(yesterday) I commend him for his humility he has exhibited. Him coming here is an expression of humility which we appreciated very much.

I commend him for being courageous. For him to acknowledge something that didn’t go well with others requires a lot of courage.

In Buganda we say friendship follows a fight (Omukwano guva mu Ngabo). He came as a friend and he is going back as a brother.

I urge all Ugandans to leave what was said behind us. The people of Buganda and those of Acholi have more in common than what divides us.

We should give Rt Hon Jacob Oulanyah a befitting send off next week well knowing that we have undertaken this process.

There is nothing more that needs being done. We just need to move forward. Deepen our friendship and unity amongst all of Ugandans.

I want to thank the members of the Inter Religious Council who are here with us. I want to thank the Chief Justice’s entourage.

Thank you very much.

Chief Justice Owiny Dollos yesterday visited Buganda Kingdom headquarters in Bulange, Mengo to physically deliver his apology to the kingdom over the unsuitable statements he made at the late Rt Hon Jacob Oulanyah’s vigil.

“I commend the Chief Justice for the humility he has exhibited. In Buganda, we say that friendship comes after a fight. The Chief Justice has come as a friend and he is going to leave as a brother,” Mayiga noted urging all Ugandans to leave all that was said behind them.
