Tooro King Edward Rukidi Nyabongo I ordered Acting Prime Minister Calvin Armstrong Rwomiire and kingdom officials to submit comprehensive accountability reports by November 12, 2026. The directive, issued during the monarch’s first Supreme Council meeting in Fort Portal City, targets projects from the reign of the late Omukama Oyo.
King Nyabongo Orders November 12 Accountability Deadline at Mucwa Headquarters
The King of Tooro issued a strict reporting directive to Acting Prime Minister Calvin Armstrong Rwomiire, his cabinet, and all kingdom departments during his first Supreme Council meeting since his coronation. Meeting on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, at the Mucwa Kingdom headquarters in Fort Portal City, Omukama Edward Rukidi Nyabongo I demanded a full accounting of projects implemented during the reign of his predecessor, the late Omukama Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV.
The monarch’s coronation took place on September 29, 2026. Setting a deadline of November 12, 2026, for the submission of reports, the king stated that the acting Prime Minister’s appointment was intended to ensure continuity of development projects.
That is why I appointed Calvin Armstrong as acting Prime Minister, to help manage the transition period. His appointment was not meant to start a new administration during this period. Now, I want a report from the acting Prime Minister detailing what has been done and what has not been done.

Supreme Council Reviews The Schedule And Seven-Member Committee
The verification process follows a strict multi-step calendar overseen by the Tooro Kingdom Supreme Council, also known as the Orukurato. Once the acting prime minister submits the documentation by November 12, the Supreme Council will take seven days to analyze the findings. Under the schedule outlined by the monarch, the council’s recommendations must reach his office by November 19.
The royal office then holds a seven-day review window before the full council reconvenes on November 27, 2026, where the Omukama will communicate his official response and set the future course of action.
To handle this evaluation, the Supreme Council — chaired by Engineer Julius Mwirumubi — immediately appointed a dedicated seven-member committee.
- Asuman Kisembo, representing the Abaranzi clan (Nilepost)
- Sam Mugisa, representing Kitagwenda County (Nilepost)
- Monday Amos, representing Ntoroko County (Nilepost)
- Olivia Mutamba, representing the Babiito clan (Nilepost)
- Mugisa Murambara (also referred to as Mugisa Nyamirambara) (Monitor)
- Florence (Monitor)
- Ernest Kamara (noted as Kamara Adolf in alternate reporting) (Monitor)
Cabinet Reshuffle Fallout and Interim Administration Appointments Under Review
Following his interim appointment, Acting Prime Minister Armstrong reshuffled the cabinet, removing several ministers who had served under the late King Oyo and installing new appointees.
During the Mucwa session, King Nyabongo publicly stated that certain appointments made during this interim phase were erroneous. This pronouncement drew applause from council members in attendance.
The monarch urged anyone affected by the administrative missteps to remain calm while the Supreme Council examines the records.
Some appointments made under the interim administration were erroneous. I therefore ask those affected to remain patient as the Supreme Council reviews the matter.

Omukama Calls for Institutional Harmony and Integrity
The accountability process is designed to cover resources sourced from the central government, corporate sponsors, donors, and various development partners.
Concluding his address, the Omukama stressed the necessity of institutional harmony between the royal office, the Supreme Council, and the administrative cabinet, calling for integrity, humility, and unity across Tooro. Expressing gratitude to the members for their welcome, the Omukama vowed to collaborate closely with the Supreme Council and affirmed his dedication to serving the people.
Omukama Nyabongo also raised concerns over appointments made under the interim administration, saying some had been erroneous.
Omukama Edward Rukidi Nyabongo I, the King of Tooro, has instructed his cabinet, all kingdom departments, and Prime Minister Calvin Armstrong Rwomiire to provide accountability for their operations by submitting reports on registered achievements, undertaken activities, and pending programmes by November 12.
Held at the kingdom headquarters in Mucwa, the Omukama’s first Supreme Council meeting following his coronation took place on Tuesday, October 27, when the directive was issued.
