Is The Kabaka Of Buganda Under Arrest In Namibia? Embassy Speaks Out On Why He Is In A Mental Hospital , His Condition Leaves Baganda In Worry
Rising anxiety is reported among sections of people in Buganda Kingdom as new details emerge about the health of King Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II.
The Kabaka was recently visited by Joseph Ndawula, the Ugandan Ambassador to Namibia, at a medical facility in the country. The Monarch is undergoing psychotherapeutic treatment in Namibia, confirmed by the Namibian government through its German Embassy last week.
HE Martin Andjaba, the Namibian Ambassador in Berlin, revealed on May 24 that the Kabaka is receiving treatment at Okonguarri Psychotherapeutic Centre in the Outjo area in the Kunene Region. The Kabaka is currently at Okonguarri Psychotherapeutic Centre in the Outjo area in the Kunene Region.
“The Embassy wishes to inform you that King Ronald Muwenda II is not detained in Namibia,” wrote the envoy.
“He arrived in the country in April 2024 for medical treatment and is currently at Okonguarri Psychotherapeutic Centre…”.
According to its website, The facility uses the Okonguarri method of treatment that has particularly been successful in treating depressive disorders, anxiety-related disorders, personality dysfunctions (psychosis), post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD), stress management, somatoform disorders, substance-related disorders, and childhood-related disorders.
It also claims to offer “a unique and smaller, patient-friendly therapeutic environment, adaptable to the specific treatment needs of every individual.”
Buganda Kingdom Confirms
Buganda Kingdom confirmed Kabaka Mutebi’s trip to Namibia earlier this month, stating that the monarch was advised by his doctors to take a break from work to focus on recuperation.
“The doctors advised that he take some rest before he can resume his official duties,” the Kingdom stated.
Ambassador Andjaba dispelled reports that the king had been “detained,” adding that those who wish to visit him would be allowed if they meet the necessary requirements.
A group of Ugandans dressed in traditional Kiganda attire marched to the Namibian Embassy seeking information about the whereabouts and safety of the King. However, the Prime Minister of Buganda (Katikkiro) Mayiga has dismissed these concerns, accusing those with questions of serving selfish interests and politicizing the monarch’s illness.
