Uganda’s state minister for Internal Affairs, Juma Witonze Kiseka, has dismissed claims that the Queen Mother of Tooro, Best Kemigisa, is under house arrest. Kiseka explained that the security presence surrounding the royal palace in Tooro is a routine precaution. This deployment aims to guarantee the safety of those mourning and members of the royal family. The increased security measures are directly related to the mourning period following a recent death within the Tooro Kingdom. The minister emphasized this is a standard practice during times of grief and vulnerability for the royal family. Kiseka’s statement seeks to clarify any misinterpretations regarding the Queen Mother’s freedom of movement. The information was released by The Observer Media Ltd.
