Bugweri (sometimes called Bugweri Bufutulu) is one of the six traditional chiefdoms of the kingdom of Busoga in Uganda.
It was founded around 1726 and became a part of the British protectorate in Busoga in 1896. Its ruler is known as the Menya.[1]
While in the 18th century, their founder Kakaire enthroned himself in the southern part of Bugweri and hijacked power from the AbaiseMusuubo clan. Their rulers are given the title of Menha.[2][3][4]
History
Bugweri, one of the eleven hereditary chiefdoms of Busoga Kingdom in eastern Uganda, was formed when local leaders broke away to establish their own rule. Its rulers hold the title Menha, and the chiefdom later joined other Busoga states under colonial influence in the late 19th century.[5]
