The king (Kabaka or omukama) of Tooro kingdom, Oyo Nyimba Iguru last week suspended the Kingdom constitution. The king says that he wanted to pave way for the constitutional amendment exercise.

But the suspension of this 1999 constitution of Tooro Kingdom by Oyo Nyimba has divided his subjects and kingdom officials.

Many of the kingdom officials have tongue lashed the king, describing his acts as childish, illegal and divisive.

David Mujuni, a representative of Mwenge County to Tooro kingdom parliament says that the king did not consult them before suspending the constitution.

He says that king Oyo should have highlighted the clauses he wanted to amend than suspending the entire constitution which took a lot of money to make.

Sources say that the kingdom clan council members met yesterday and also came to a conclusion that the king’s action was illegal.
