Tooro King Nyabongo vows to work closely with Babiito royal clan

Tooro King (Omukama) Edward Rukidi Nyabongo I has pledged to work closely with the Babiito royal clan and seek its advice before making key decisions, acknowledging that a king cannot reign alone without the support and guidance of his royal family.

Addressing members of the Babiito clan during his first meeting with them since his coronation on September 29, Nyabongo I said he would rely on the experience of senior clan members, particularly clan chief Omujwera Musuuga Charles Kamurasi.

“I will reign with you, Babiito. For us, we are still learning. There are many things we do not know, which we are learning,” Nyabongo said.

The meeting, held at Karuziika Palace in Fort Portal, was presided over by Kamurasi, who reminded the new monarch that the strength and continuity of Tooro's kingship have historically depended on cooperation between the King and the Babiito.
