Bulungibwansi Day Bulungibwansi day
Bulungibwansi Day Bulungibwansi day is an annual event
cerebrated in Buganda every 8th of October in memory of Buganda`s
Independence and rotates in different counties.
The Kabaka dedicated this day to Community activities on self-help basis popularly known as Bulungibwansi. Previously, the functions have been held in the following counties.
- 2003, Busiro
- 2004, Kooki
- 2005, Butambala
- 2006, Singo
- 2007, Buddu
However, celebrations to the year 2008 which were to be held in Buluuli at Nakasongola where canceled because security operatives blocked the Kabaka from proceeding to the venue.
According to history, Buluuli became one of Buganda's Counties on 9th May 1898 when Buganda won a battle between Bunyoro Kitara. Some parts of Buluuli covering the area of Masindi Port remained in Bunyoro while the rest was incorporated into Buganda Kingdom.
Some of the parts that were incorporated into Buganda included the area where Naŋŋoma`s Palace was located and where put under the leadership of Andereya Luwandagga as the first Kimbugwe. Kimbuge is the official title for Kabaka's chief of Buluuli County. It should be noted that all counties in Buganda have county chiefs and are named according to the county they lead.
The original traditional leader for Buluuli was Naŋŋoma who is believed to have been a daughter to Kabaka Kintu. That`s why in the 1900 agreement, Naŋŋoma was given a Mailo land on Block 102 Plot 46 in Buluuli.
The 1995 Constiution shows clearly that Buluuli is one of the eighteen (18) counties which make up Buganda Kingdom. It is about 2460 sq mailos with a population of approximately 210,000 people .
