		In a strongly worded memorandum appealing to the government and people of Uganda to listen to ‘the unique case of Bunyoro’, the kingdom is asking for affirmative action and redefinition of her boundaries to include the districts of Hoima, Masindi and Kibaale left out of Bunyoro in the 1995 constitution.
