A group of Busoga professionals has fronted a proposal requiring that for anybody to become the Kyabazinga of Busoga, the must possess a minimum of Bachelor’s degree in any field.

The professionals together with academics and religious leaders have jointly submitted their views to the committee that is reviewing the Busoga constitution.

Led by Professor Andrew Bakibinga of Makerere University, the group argues that a such will enable the king to fully analyze issues with an independent mind as opposed to being directed.

He adds that this will also help the king to be firm and uphold the dignity of Busoga.

The professionals also proposed that the kings be elected for a 10 year renewal term for one who is below 65yrs  of age.

The constitutional review exercise ends in June and a draft paper will presented to stakeholders for final scrutiny before using it for fresh Kyabazinga polls according to the committee chairperson Shaban Muziransa.

Busoga constitutional review stemmed out of a disagreement over the Kyabazinga throne with a number of elections being contested in court over alleged failure to follow the kingdom constitution.
