Meanwhile, President Museveni has scoffed at the Mengo government over its plan to mourn on Independence Day instead of celebrating.
This follows reports that Mengo government will mourn instead of celebrating on Independence Day to show concern over the failure by government to return its properties.
He adds that there is a group of people misleading Uganda in Mengo instead of showing Ugandans the opportunities Buganda government has been given over the other regions.
He asserts that government returned all property concerning culture and the remaining will be returned when regional governments come into place.
