Busoga is preparing for a major event as Rt. Hon. Rebecca Kadaga returns home on Friday, 19th September 2025. Her arrival has sparked excitement among the local population, who have organized celebrations to welcome her. The Ministry of Internal Affairs, led by Maj Gen (Retired) Kathuda Otaiire, has issued urgent instructions to the Uganda Police Force to ensure the homecoming remains safe and peaceful.
In a letter to the Inspector General of Police, the Minister noted that attempts had been made to prevent the celebrations. However, given the politically sensitive environment, stopping the event could trigger unrest or even riots. The police have been directed not to halt the celebrations but to maintain order and ensure that their actions do not become a cause for tension.
This situation highlights the delicate balance authorities must strike between security and public expression. Kadaga’s homecoming is more than a personal visit—it is a significant political and cultural moment for her supporters in Busoga. The local celebrations are a demonstration of her influence and the strong ties she holds with her community.
As preparations continue, the eyes of both the public and the government are on Busoga. The coming days will test the coordination between law enforcement and the local community, showing how celebrations can be conducted safely even amid a politically charged atmosphere. For Kadaga’s supporters, this homecoming is a moment of pride, while for authorities, it is a careful exercise in maintaining peace.
