Ebyafaayo biraga nti enkima kye kimu ku bika ebisinga obukulu wano mu Buganda era nga kyaliwo okuviira ddala ku Ssekabaka Kintu era nga kigambibwa nti ab’enkima baamaamira nnyo ebizinga by’e Ssese, ekyawaliriza Ssekabaka Kintu n’abalala obutalonderayo baami ne balekayo ab’enkima bakulembereyo.

Kigambibwa nti Ssekabaka Kintu bwe yakuba ekitebe e Bugonga mu ssaza ly’e Busujju, yasenga ne Balasi ow’enkima. Oluvanyuma lwa bino byonna, Balasi yazimba amaka ge e Malangala mu Busujju era bwe yazaala mutabani we Bwoya n’akula, yamuwaayo aweereze Kabaka mu lubiri era Kabaka yasiima n’amuwa obwa Ssaabawaali.

Bwoya naye bwe yazaala mutabani we Mulegeya, naye n’agoberera kitaawe mu kuweereza Kabaka wamu ne mutabani we omulala eyali ayitibwa Miyingo, oluvannyuma eyafuuka Katumba, eyaweesa ab’enkima ekitiibwa ky’obwajjajja bwa Buganda. Kino kyajjawo oluvannyuma lwa Ssekabaka Chwa okubula kyokka nga yagenda okubula nga mutabani we Kalemeera amugobye mu Buganda ku bigambibwa nti yali ayagadde omu ku bakyala be era bw’atyo n’awaŋŋangukira e Bunyoro.

Ebyembi Kalemeera bwe yatuuka e Bunyoro nayo n’aganza muka Kabaka Winyi eyali amanyiddwa nga Wannyana, ekintu ekyanyiiza ennyo Kabaka era Kalemeera yasalawo yeemulule adde ku butaka, ebyembi yafiira mu lugendo.

Bino byonna bigenda okubaawo nga Katumba ali Bunyoro aweereza ng’omubumbi wa Kabaka Winyi.

Embeera eno yaleetawo obweraliikirivu mu kiseera kino, anti Ssekabaka Chwa yali amaze okubula, mutabani we eyandibadde amuddira mu bigere nga naye afudde. Mu kiseera kino, Katumba we yategeereza abakulu nga Kalemeera bwe yali alese omwana owoobulenzi e Bunyoro era abakulu olwawulira bino ne bamukwasa abantu abalala abakulemberemu bagende banone omwana ono.

Omulangira ono nnyina olwafuna olubuto n’aggyibwa mu lubiri anti Katumba yamatiza Winyi nti omuganga yamugamba nti singa omu ku bakazi ab’afunye olubuto, amuggyanga mu lubiri n’amuzimbira mu bakopi kyokka nga kino Katumba ye yakyeyiiyiza olwokwagala okutaasa Wanyana aleme kuttibwa na lubuto era Kabaka n’akikkiriza.

Kimera olwazaalibwa yakukulirwa mu kisenyi Katumba gye yabumbiranga era nga y’ayambako Wanyana mu kumulabirira. Wano we waava erinnya lya Mugema kuba ye yamugema n’atafa wadde ng’embeera teyali nnyangu era kuno ab’enkima kwe bagatta okuyitibwa bajjajja ba Buganda oba bannakazadde ba Buganda.
