The people of Tooro are a cultured, well-groomed and disciplined society. To us, humility is not merely a virtue; it is a way of life. It is the rule, not the exception.
Thank you so much, the people of Tooro, for demonstrating these values with such grace, dignity and discipline throughout the entire Coronation period of His Royal Majesty King Edward Rukidi Nyabongo I.
You have truly shown the world the beauty of our culture and the character of the people of Tooro.

Those who doubted the decision of the Toro Royal Succession Committee and its popularity among the Batoro, here 👇🏾👇🏾is your proof. I’ve not met one Mutoro elder, NOT ONE, who is not in support of the new king!
OMUSUUGA HAPPY THAT HE HASN’T BETRAYED HIS LATE BROTHER OMUKAMA KABOYO OLIMI.
In the Video, Omusuuga Charles Kamurasi breaks down in gratitude for being able to fulfill the Command of Omukama Kaboyo (Oyo’s father) at his death bed.
The Command was, “Protect Tooro Kingdom” & in the view of Charles, he has delivered with distinction.
We held a dedication Mass for our Silver Jubilee Candidates, putting them in prayer to the Lord, led by the wonderful Father Deogratious Kiibi from Kampala Archdiocese.

Today we received President Museveni’s support, including the official royal car, security pickup and security personnel for King Edward Kijanangoma Nyabongo .
We will follow the President’s advice, while noting that the Attorney General’s legal advice is from a Mukopi !
I really like Omusuga. You don’t mess around with his King.
Here, his son was invited to sit on the lap of King Oyo. After, he thanked the King but without kneeling. See what the dad told him👇🏾
This evening, the new King of Tooro HM King Edward Rukidi Kijanangoma addressed a small gathering in Buheesi. He said he’s passionate about tourism, and he just can’t wait to serve.
Today, I joined Chairman Chris Kaijuka and the family for the funeral service of their son Kenneth Kaijuka Amooti, who tragically lost his life in the accident on Mubende along the Kampala–Fort Portal Road.
Kenneth lived a worthy life. He loved his family and was devoted to his children, some of whom were also involved in the tragic accident. I conveyed my deepest condolences to the family and thanked the police, army, first responders, and all those who worked tirelessly to rescue the children at the accident scene who were stuck in wreckage with a container on top for hours.
This tragedy, like many others along this road, is a painful reminder of the urgent need to address its dangerous condition. According to eyewitnesses, the accident was caused by a combination of factors, including the bad condition of the road and reckless driving by the driver of the trailer which fell on Kenneth’s car. Chairman Chris Kaijuka mentioned the issue during his speech at the funeral service. These concerns have also been voiced by many other people.
As government, we have listened to these concerns, particularly those raised by the people of Tooro. We recognize the frustration and pain caused by the delays in completing this road. H.E. @KagutaMuseveni has taken a keen interest in the matter, while the Minister of Works, @HonByamukama, has visited and issued deadlines for completion of the road to the contractor Energo Projekts. We ask for forgiveness for the delays. We acknowledge that government made mistakes that contributed to the prolonged completion of the project. The road was originally expected to be completed in 2024, but it faced several challenges and failures. These shortcomings have been addressed. The new deadline is April 2027. There should be no more delays.
Luckily enough, all the four children survived. I pray for their full and speedy recovery.
Rest in peace, Kenneth, and your driver of 15 years who was buried yesterday. My condolences once again to your families.
