 HOW TOORO KINGDOM IS BEING HAUNTED BY FINANCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY AFTER THE ENTHRONEMENT OF OMUKAMA EDWARD NYABONGO I Government Donations, the ICEA Unit Trust Fund, Military Connections, the Omusuuga and the Omuhikirwa BY DAVID MACLAREN KIIZA 1. Introduction: A new king, an old accountability challenge The enthronement of Omukama Edward Rukidi Nyabongo I on 29 September 2026 ushered Tooro Kingdom into a new chapter. Yet the transition has brought renewed attention to the management of money, ceremonial contributions, royal-clan fundraising and the responsibilities of the kingdom's senior administrators. The central question is straightforward: can the new reign establish a financial record that is transparent enough to reassure the people of Tooro, donors, government institutions and other well-wishers?

  WHY CHURCHES MUST EXPLAIN TITHE THOROUGHLY ? By David Maclaren KIIZA The Bible speaks about tithing differently in the Old Testament and the New Testament.

New Testament The New Testament does not command Christians to tithe as a legal requirement under the new covenant. Jesus mentioned tithing when speaking to Jewish religious leaders who were still under the Mosai...

TOORO KINGDOM: POLITICAL FORECAST 2026–2031 Cabinet Controversy, Royal Succession, Governance and Scenarios for the New Reign Research cut-off: 15 October 2026 CONFIDENTIALITY NOT ASSUMED • FOR ANALYTICAL AND DISCUSSION PURPOSES Executive assessment Tooro Kingdom enters the reign of King Edward Rukidi Nyabongo I with two linked tests: consolidating confidence in the succession and demonstrating that the new administration can deliver practical results. The cabinet announced in mid-October is the first major test of representation, competence and internal cohesion. The strongest baseline forecast is neither immediate crisis nor automatic unity. The more plausible path is a period of negotiation and scrutiny, with the king’s standing shaped by whether he can make room for differing views while preserving the authority of the kingdom’s institutions. This is a forecast, not a statement of certainty. Central judgement: by 2031, the kingdom’s resilience will depend less on the number of appo...
