KAMPALA- Buganda prime minister Charles Peter Mayiga has met with King Mswati lll of Swaziland and discussed how the two kingdoms can work together to foster development.
According to the statement released by the kingdom, the katikkiro, who last week led a delegation from Buganda, was hosted to a private audience and dinner where he delivered Kabaka Ronald Mutebi’s ’s warm regards to the king and the people of Swaziland.
“By meeting with His Majesty, the King of Swaziland, we were looking for ways through which we can work together to transform our respective kingdoms,” Katikkiro Mayiga said in a statement adding: “The Kingdom of Swaziland and that of Buganda have a lot of similarities. It was important that we meet the king so that more doors can be opened”
Buganda Kingdom has a flourishing relationship with King Mswati, a monarch renown for marrying virgin girls on an annual basis.
Mr Mayiga left last Friday for Swaziland and South Africa to meet the kingdom subjects in diaspora as part of a fundraising drive commonly known as ettoffaali that was launched to develop the kingdom.
He also performed installation ceremonies for Mr Paul Mulindwa, the Kabaka’s representative in Swaziland before heading to South Africa on Sunday.
