Libyan leader Col. Muammar Gadaffi has pledged to support investment in the Buganda Kingdom.
Meeting the Katikkiro, J.B. Walusimbi and Nabagereka Sylvia Nagginda at Mengo on Tuesday, Gadaffi instructed the Libyan investment team to sign a memorandum of understanding with the kingdom.
Gadaffi said Buganda was an embodiment of a pure social African setting and pledged to support its reconstruction programme.
Gadaffi advised the kingdom to resist foreign influence, adding that it is through social settings like Buganda that the African Union would be achieved.
He invited Buganda officials to Libya to consolidate the partnership.

The Katikkiro welcomed Gadaffi and instructed the Buganda attorney general to draft the memorandum and liaise with the planning ministry to identify investment ventures.
Walusimbi said Buganda was endowed with resources like minerals, prime land and hardworking subjects in which Libya can invest.
The kingdom gave Gadaffi presents, which included the Buganda flag, a shield and spear, a drum and a portrait of the Kabaka and Nagginda.
