News reaching our desk confirms that the Omusinga of Rwenzururu, Charles Wesley Mumbere, has travelled to Turkey to undergo a medical review about his health.
The trip has been sponsored, reportedly facilitated by H. E. President Yoweri Museveni, following weeks of speculation on the health of the monarch.
Mumbere spoke to Uncovered Ug reporters at Entebbe International Airport before his departure, where he expressed gratitude to the president and his administration.

“I haven’t been feeling very well. I am here at Entebbe Airport, and I am travelling to Turkey for a medical review,” Omusinga confirmed.
“I am grateful to H.E. President Yoweri Museveni and his government for allowing me to go abroad for further medical review.”
He also addressed viral speculation regarding his health, particularly claims circulating on social media that suggested his condition was dire.
All associated activities are scheduled to take place on 14th November to accommodate the King’s absence and subsequent return, which was scheduled for 19th October, and his birthday run, originally slated for 14th November, will now be combined.
“I wish also to pass a message to the kingdom subjects that although I am going for a medical review, I am not all that bad, as it has been claimed on TikTok that I am moving in a stretcher. I am on my feet, and I talk and eat well, except for some pain inside,” he clarified.
In conclusion, the Omusinga’s medical journey has necessitated a change in the kingdom’s calendar.
