About Besueri Kiwanuka Lusse Mulondo
- Beswueri (or Besweri) Kiwanuka Lusse Mulondo (12 March 1926 – 4 April 2016) was a Ugandan politician who was also a Senior Presidential Adviser on Land Matters. Mulondo started his public service career before Uganda got independence and continued after Uganda got independence.
- For most of his civil service career, Mulondo worked in the Ministry of lands where he rose to the positions of Registrar of titles, chairman of the Uganda land Commission and minister of state for Lands and later Energy and Mineral Development which was at that time called the Ministry of Natural Resources. In the early 1970s, Mulondo officially resigned from his post as registrar of titles during the period when the Idi Amin government fraudulently made transfers of deported Asian´s properties to Ugandans favoured by the regime.
- His resignation was seen as an act of defiance and it landed him in Luzira prison by the then minister Juma Oris.
- It took the efforts of a colleague with connections in the regime to have him set free. After successfully retiring, he fully turned to business until the overthrow of Amin.
- President Binaisa appointed him chairman of the Ugandan land Commission in 1979, a position he would also later hold under Yoweri Museveni in the late 1990s.
- When Obote came to power in 1981, Mulondo turned back to business.
- In 1982, he was exiled to Kenya for his refusal to support the UPC, which was the party in power. In exile he linked up with the National Resistance Movement (NRM) and he became a member of the external wing of the NRM .
- When the NRM overthrew the government in Uganda in 1986, he returned to Uganda.
- he served in several capacities starting with the chairmanship of the commission of inquiry into corruption that produced the famous Mulondo report, Chairman Lint Marketing Board, Minister of stet for Lands, Minister of state for Natural Resources and Chairman Uganda land commission. In 1989, Mulondo became the Parliament (NRC) representative of the then Mityana constituency (current Mityana south and Mityana north) .
- he continued in this position until the enactment of the new constitution in 1995.
- Mulondo represented Mityana South in the Constituent Assembly (CA). Mulondo was instrumental in the restoration of the Buganda kingdom.
- He was one of the people who introduced the kabaka to Yoweri Museveni during the war and was key in all the events leading to the coronation of the kabaka and the return of "ebyaffe".
- Mulondo is also a prince in the kingdom o´f Buganda.
- The kabaka appointed him Ssabalangira (Chief prince) to rule over the princes on the kabaka´s behalf. After Buganda failed to secure a federal type of government in the CA, Mulondo was blamed for the failure because he conceded that despite lobbying other CA delegates, the support for federo (as it was called then) had failed to garner enough support and that the only people willing to cut a deal at the time (UPC) were like snakes in a pot.
- The federo vote was seated during the CA and many Baganda used Mulondo as a scapegoat.
- From this moment on he retired from active politics.
