Frank Malimungu Gashumba, a well-known social activist and entrepreneur, issued a public apology to the Buganda Kingdom and its Katikkiro, Charles Peter Mayiga, after years of tension and provocative remarks, influenced by several prominent figures hence leaving many questions.
During his visit to Bulange Mengo, Gashumba revealed that his apology stemmed from the advice and influence of key individuals, including the late Archbishop Ciprian Kizito Lwanga and former Masaka governor Jude Mbabaali. Their guidance encouraged him to reassess his past behavior, particularly his harsh criticisms of the kingdom and its leadership.
