The Bakonzo Kingship claimant, Robert Bwambale Tibamwenda, has quietly returned to Kasese after close to two years away from home.
Tibamwenda who refers to himself as “Omwami Wa Bakonzo”, which literally means Lord of the Bakonzo, returned to Kasese on Wednesday night.
He was last seen in Kasese in April 2017 when he laid ground for his palace in Nsenyi cell of Kisinga Sub County. At that time, a group of youth torched his cultural house that he had erected forcing him to flee the area.
Bwambale says that he has not relented from his throne and has already laid plans to meet all key stakeholders to not only expedite his recognition but also bring peace in the Rwenzori region that has suffered political instabilities and tribal conflicts.
He says he will engage Mumbere, the entire royal family and the Rwenzururu kingdom administration on how best peace can be attained in the region.
203 people including Mumbere and his Prime Minister John Thembo Kitsumbire are facing a series of charges including murder, arson, treason and terrorism among others in the International Crimes Division of High Court following their arrest in November 2016 when the army and police raided Mumbere’s Buhikira palace in Kasese town leading to death of more than 100 people.
