Omukama
Title given to the monarchs in the Kingdoms of Bunyoro and Tooro
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Omukama (Nyoro pronunciation: [omukâma], Tooro pronunciation: [omukáma], 'king, lord', pl. : Abakama) is a title used in Uganda and neighbouring countries for monarchs, especially in the kingdoms of Bunyoro and Tooro.[1][2] They were recognized by the colonial powers of Great Britain when Uganda was made a republic.[3] After reestablishing the Ugandan kingdoms in the 1990s, the Omukama are accepted as kings with cultural functions.[4][5]
