The Chief of Kigulu one of the 11 principalities that form Obwa Kyabazinga bwa Busoga is in critical health and abandoned to fight for own life at his home in Iganga.
Prince Izimba Gologolo, the cultural ruler of Kigulu a chiefdom in Busoga is battling cancer helplessly with no money to access medical services in a recognised hospital.
In a recorded video that #SmlNews has received, Chief Gologolo is crying out for help from President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, his son and Commander of the land forces Lt.Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba to help him access hospital.

Gologolo says his brothers in the Kingdom and the institution have left him for dead since his family and friends have run out of enough to help him.
His first battle with cancer in Mulago was a similar agony but later the King and his premiers rushed to his aid to repulse public pressure.
Busoga is home to the country’s top political cream who have for long been working in isolation and hatred amongst themselves but recently claimed they were uniting to bury their differences and save the region. This after their squabbles cost them key political offices as an invisible hand set them out to fight each other.
Prince Izimba Gologolo’s story of agony is a shame to the region endowed with natural resources and the home of electricity supply in Uganda. It also shows how the region has invested all its survival and future in the person of President Yoweri Museveni.
It also exposes the weakness with which the region looks at its cultural significance exhibited through such leaders. How can an institution that can not care for her own be used to transform the lives of its subjects. Efforts to reach the Kingdom Spokesperson Andrew Ntange were futile as he repeatedly declined to pick his calls.
Neither Busoga Kingdom nor Gologolo’s own chiefdom, family nor central government is willing to shoulder costs for his medical care. Prayers for one of the longest reigning Cultural Chiefs Izimba Gologolo, the Ngobi of Kigulu.
