 Controversy erupted a few months after the NRM takeover in 1986, when the heads of each of the clans in Buganda organized a public campaign for the restoration of the kingship, the return of the Buganda parliament building (which the NRA had continued to use as the army headquarters), and permission for Mutebi to return to Uganda.Over the next month, the government struggled to regain the political initiative from the clan heads.First, in July 1986 the prime minister, Samson Kisekka – a Muganda – told people at a public rally in Buganda to stop this "foolish talk."
