KAMPALA — Capt. Mike Mukula on Wednesday hosted Their Majesties the King of Tooro, Omukama Edward Rukidi Nyabongo I, Abwooli, and Queen Rebecca Amoding Rukidi at his residence in Bugolobi, describing the occasion as “a rare privilege” and “a memorable” one.
The royal couple spent the afternoon with their host in an atmosphere Mukula characterized as one of friendship, mutual respect and cultural appreciation, according to a statement released after the visit.
Mukula, a veteran politician and businessman, said he remained “profoundly grateful” for the opportunity to receive the monarch and his wife, calling the encounter a highlight among his engagements with traditional institutions.
The meeting underscored the enduring ties between Uganda’s cultural leadership and public figures, with conversation flowing warmly throughout the afternoon, the statement noted.
Details of what was discussed during the visit were not immediately made public, and it was not clear whether the engagement carried any political or institutional significance beyond the courtesy call.
The King of Tooro, whose kingdom is one of Uganda’s recognized traditional institutions, is based in Fort Portal and regularly undertakes engagements across the country. Queen Rebecca Amoding Rukidi accompanied him on the visit.
Neither the Tooro Kingdom nor Mukula’s office issued further comment on the meeting by press time.
