Tens of Thousands of Busoga residents on September 13th came together at Kamira Village, Namagera Parish, Kagoma County in Jinja District to celebrate the fifth empango/coronation anniversary of His Majesty Kyabazinga (King) William Gabula Nadiope IV of Busoga, .

The Kyabazinga arrived at the grounds to the sounds of cultural royal drums to signify his presence.

He hailed the achievements the kingdom as gotten through its development, industrialization, education, technological advancement, digital transformation and support to government programmes.

"The kyabazingaship has registered tremendous success over the years due to your support and I want to thank you. "The past five years has seen education blossom due to the cooperation between the kingdom and the schools; about 7,000 have gained access to primary, secondary and tertiary education," he said.

“We have started and initiated several programs. We started the bursary scheme supporting needy but bright students, Ekigangu kya Busoga for the youth, Masaza cup, Kyabazinga trail, water distribution to schools, planting of trees and the demand for the service is enormous. However, we need to be stable financially to manage all of them”,

Surrounding kingdoms were represented as well as delegation from cultural institutions including the Umukuka of Bamasaba, Bob Mushikori, Buganda Kingdom, which was represented by the second deputy Prime Minister, Waggwa Nsibirwa and delegates from abroad among others.

The then Prince Gabula was elected Kyabazinga of Busoga in August 2014 and crowned on September 13th 2014, after a dispute amongst local chiefs contesting the legitimacy of heir Edward Columbus Wambuzi as Kyabazinga. Edward was the son of the late Kyabazinga Henry Wako Muloki who passed away from  esophageal cancer at the Mulago National Referral Hospital in Kampala at age 87 on September 1, 2008.
