TESTIMONY — LOOK WHAT THE LORD HAS DONE 🙏🏾🤎
One of these pictures was taken while I was still recovering after a diagnosis that had left me in a wheelchair for eight months.
The other is me today.
I am sharing them for the woman who is sick today, looking at her body and wondering, “Will I ever feel like myself again? Will I ever get back on my feet?”
I remember asking those same questions.
There was a time when I couldn’t walk normally. I couldn’t wear my heels. I couldn’t do many of the simple things I once took for granted. And when I finally began getting out of that wheelchair, I didn’t know what my future would look like.
But something happened to me in that season that went far beyond my physical body.
I got closer to God.
I prayed from that wheelchair.
I listened to sermons from that wheelchair.
I cried out to God from that wheelchair.
I learned to depend on Him from that wheelchair.
And little by little, my story began to change.
Today I can walk into a gym. I can exercise. I can walk freely. I can look at these pictures and sometimes even I have to remind myself where I came from.
Look what the Lord has done.
I believe in doctors. I believe in getting medical care and following appropriate treatment. Faith and medical care do not have to compete. But through my own journey, I also learned what it meant to pray, trust God and hold onto Him when I didn’t know what tomorrow would look like.
So to the woman going through her own difficult health season: please don’t give up. Get the care you need. Take things one day at a time. And if you believe in God, keep praying. Keep abiding. Keep trusting Him through the process.
I cannot promise you what your healing journey will look like, because every person’s story is different.
But I can tell you mine.
I was in a wheelchair for eight months.
Today, I walk.
And that is why nobody will ever make me ashamed to talk about God. I know what happened between Him and me in the season when very few people could see my struggle.
My testimony continues, and as long as God gives me something to testify about, I will keep telling it.
Maybe somebody else’s hope is waiting on the other side of my testimony. 🙏🏾🤎
…He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it…
— Philippians 1:6
THE KING REIGNS. 👑
This is my personal testimony and not medical advice. Please seek appropriate medical care for your own health needs.

I hosted an event that raised a modest $3.5 BILLION in 90 minutes at the UN General Assembly in New York! 🤯
It will fund education in 90 lower-income countries so that no child is left behind. My mom was a teacher in rural Kenya so this historic “harambee” is personal to me
Lone, where is your desk???
I have some news too…
News has reached my desk. All I can say is that if those boys ever grow up. Tell them I did everything I could. I risked being taken to the basement. In fact anyone close to Queen best Kemigisa and Komuntale give them my mobile money number. However, Baby Oyo landed in the country yesterday and arrangements to meet the musuuga are on. More news to come.
🥹🥹😩🥹All my life, I have seen this man talk about our Kingdom’s PM.
What has he done as a chief Prince?? Honestly, nothing… it’s just another day seeing a mubito thirsty for power.
We are okay with @AndrewByakutaga .

@X will move on to another controversy, another argument and another target, but when the phones are put down and the cameras have moved away, the Batooro will still have to live with one another.
That, ultimately, is what matters. When this dispute is over, the Batooro will still speak the same beautiful language, belong to the same clans, marry one another, celebrate together, mourn together and bury one another, and their children will inherit whatever this generation leaves behind.
Let those children inherit a Kingdom, not a quarrel. The throne is important, but Tooro is greater than its throne, and no King wins if his Kingdom loses, no Queen Mother wins if her family is broken, and no faction truly wins if its victory leaves bitterness that lasts for generations.
Government, too, carries a responsibility at this moment. I appeal to President @KagutaMuseveni and Government to continue facilitating dialogue with sensitivity, impartiality and respect for Tooro’s traditions, because involvement should mean helping the Batooro find peace, not choosing for them the answer they must reach. Current efforts at mediation should therefore continue until every reasonable avenue for an agreed settlement has been exhausted.
I appeal to the elders to rise above factions and to the Royal Family to remember blood before bitterness. I appeal to Prince Edward to make reconciliation the foundation of whatever comes next, to the Queen Mother to make room for dialogue, and to Andrew and all of us commenting publicly to lower the temperature sufficiently for those directly concerned to hear one another.
King Oyo was a gentle King, and there would be something terribly sad about honouring a gentle King with a bitter succession. Let his final gift to Tooro be the peace that his people choose because they loved him, and let historians one day record that when grief and disagreement threatened to divide them in 2026, the Batooro remembered who they were and chose wisdom over anger.
History is watching, Uganda is watching and, most importantly, our children are watching what we do with this moment. Beyond all of us stand our ancestors, from whom these institutions came and to whom, one day, every King, every elder and every citizen must return, so let wisdom prevail, let dignity prevail and, above all, let family prevail.

"In fact, it is Sudhir Ruparelia and President Paul Kagame of Rwanda (both of whom grew up in Toro) who offered a helping hand to educate the king and his sister. It is a mark of her excellent social networking skills that Kemigisa mobilised people like former Libyan ruler, Maummar Gadhafi, to support the kingdom.And even in this, many Batooro elites gossiped in criticism of her efforts. In fact after Katuramu, the kingdom would have collapsed had Kemigisa not stepped onto the plate." Andrew Mwenda,15th.March.2015.
You stood with Kemigisa because her son was on the throne.
When his son [King Oyo] died,You immediately called Desmond Kamurasi to come back to Uganda for the throne had become vacant and you started fighting Kemigisa.
You don't love Kingdom as you want us to believe,instead You love & defend those on the throne.
You're a such shameless schemer.

Kati gwe otandisse okugwa eddalu.
These are the signs.
LEAVE THE WOMAN ALONE.
Again this post is addressed to those well meaning people who have been duped to sympathize with Best Kemigisa as she tries to desecrate our cultural heritage. Many of you have said this is not the right moment to attack the former queen mother because she is grieving the loss of her son, late King Oyo. Here is my reply on timing.
Best Kemigisa has not been grieving her son, she has been scheming to usurp power in our kingdom. Which mother in the midst of grief would have the audacity to invent a non existent child to succeed the throne? Which grieving mother would be calling and lying to the president of the country??
It is now more than two weeks since Oyo died. If he left a son, can she produce the son or at least a photo of him? Even in her own funeral speech at the church service, she made no reference to the existence of that son. Does anyone know of a person who died and the family did not show, or even mention, the existence of their only child? Please!!!
On September 9, 2025, Best Kemigisa hosted a baptism party for her grandson, the child of her daughter Ruth Komuntale. She gave a public speech where she said she has one grand child and asked Oyo to find a queen and give him another grand child. One year later, Oyo had produced a 3 year old boy. I attach a story in Daily Monitor of September 11, 2025 referring to this event on this tweet.
Where does a grieving mother find the wherewithal to engage in such fraud? And we are asked to give her time to “grieve” when she is using “grief” to hoist her grand nephew onto our throne. We are asked to exercise restraint, to be understanding, to be tolerant, to be quiet, to be respectful as she takes over our kingdom!! NOOOO!
When all these schemes were foiled, she refused to release the body from the palace to church. The army intervened to release it. Then she tried to pull another stunt at the royal burial grounds and literally delayed the burial by more than two hours beyond what custom demands. Again it took the army to wrestle the body from her, and this after the president had personally called and pleaded with her to be reasonable. Again we are asked to ignore this, to allow her to “grieve”!
So please, don’t falsely accuse Best Kemigisa of grieving. If she did, it was not necessarily grief of losing a son. That was secondary. Her primary grief was loss of power. That is what matters most to her. And it is the reason she has spent most of the time since King Oyo’s death manipulating public opinion by feigning grief to win sympathy and then use this to desecrate our most valued customs and traditions.
Batooro have been very accommodating, tolerant, respectful and forgiving of her many transgressions over the years. This is what gave her license to walk over the Royal clan; to exercise impunity, and to disregard our culture. Not anymore!
Thank you Akiiki ❤️
A MESSAGE OF GRATITUDE, REFLECTION AND HEALING
People of Tooro, friends of Tooro, and all those who stood with us,
As we come to the end of one of the most painful chapters in the recent history of our Kingdom, I wish, on behalf of the Tooro Kingdom administration and on my own behalf, to express our profound gratitude to everyone who stood with us and supported the final journey and dignified send-off of our beloved King, His Majesty Omukama Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV.
Our responsibility during these difficult days was clear: whatever else was happening around us, we had to see this journey through with the dignity, respect and honour befitting our King. We had to put aside our differences, manage our grief and work together to ensure that His Majesty was laid to rest in a manner worthy of the Crown he carried and the people he served.
In a special way, I wish to recognise and thank Prince Jonathan Bala, His Majesty’s Principal Private Secretary, for his loyalty, dedication and service to our King. Throughout this extraordinarily difficult period, his commitment to His Majesty remained steadfast. He carried an enormous personal and official responsibility, often under very difficult circumstances, and continued to serve with dedication until the very end. He deserves our sincere acknowledgement and gratitude.
I thank His Excellency the President, General Muhoozi, the Royal Family, the Government of Uganda, religious and cultural leaders, the organising committees, the media, our Kingdom leadership, clans and Masaza, volunteers, businesses and partners, the people of Tooro, Ugandans across the country, the diaspora and friends from beyond our borders. Whether you contributed your time, resources, professional expertise, food, transport, prayers, presence or simply stood with us in solidarity, you became part of His Majesty’s final journey. We are deeply grateful.
We recognise that everything may not have been done perfectly. This was an unprecedented moment for our generation. We were mourning our King while simultaneously carrying the enormous responsibility of organising his final journey. Emotions were understandably high, decisions sometimes had to be made under extraordinary pressure, and grief affected us all in different ways.
Where we fell short of expectations, where communication could have been better, or where anyone felt disappointed by our actions or omissions, I offer my sincere apologies. These shortcomings should never be mistaken for a lack of respect or commitment. We were a people grieving an immense loss while doing everything within our ability to honour our King.
Now that we have laid His Majesty to rest, another journey begins.
This must be a period of learning, refocusing, rebuilding and healing.
We must learn from what these difficult weeks revealed about our institutions and ourselves. We must strengthen what worked, honestly address what did not, rebuild trust where it has been strained and allow ourselves, individually and collectively, the space to heal.
There will be difficult conversations ahead. There will be institutional questions that require wisdom and clarity. There may be different opinions about the way forward. But our differences must never become greater than the Kingdom we all belong to.
This is not the time for winners and losers. It is the time for responsible leadership, humility and reconciliation.
His Majesty’s passing should remind us that positions are temporary, but Tooro remains. Personal ambitions pass, disagreements pass and generations pass, but the responsibility of preserving this Kingdom for those who come after us endures.
Our guiding principle in the days ahead must therefore remain simple:
Tooro comes first.
Above personalities. Above positions. Above disagreements. Above individual interests.
May we find the wisdom to learn, the humility to reconcile, the courage to rebuild and the strength to move forward together.
