Buganda Kingdom has written to the manager of Saatchi and Saatchi Ltd ordering him to withdraw adverts in which he used the picture of Nnabagereka.

In a letter dated March 12, Sylvia Nagginda's lawyers argued that the Buganda Queen was "very disturbed by the fact that you have splashed her photograph in the media without her knowledge or consent yet you are aware that she declined your requests to use her photograph (s) for the CHOGM campaign." Owned by businessman Patrick Quarcoo, Saatchi and Saatchi published adverts in Friday editions of this and another daily news paper indicating how they used Chogm funds after being contracted to promote the 2007 event.

However, the parliamentary Public Accounts Committee (Pac) that is invetigating the misuse of Chogm funds, insists Mr Quarcoo has not accounted for more than Shs3.8 billion of public funds and consequently ordered him to withdraw the adverts.

Now Buganda says the same company illegally used the Nnabagereka's picture. "By publishing her photograph that way, you have not only invaded our client's privacy but also inevitably drawn her personality and office into the CHOGM scams," read the letter. "We are thus instructed to demand, as we hereby do, that you immediately correct this wrong impression and prominently retract the offending material in both papers," the lawyers wrote.

Yesterday Saturday Monitor indicated that Mr Quarcoo had accepted to withdraw the adverts following Pac's directive but Sunday Monitor could not get a comment from him about the new developments as he was reportedly in a hospital outside the country. "The public needs to be correctly informed that our client did not participate in the CHOGM bill boards saga and that she received no payment whatsoever in that regard," Nagginda's lawyers demanded.

Saatchi and Saatchi is also being investigated together with Terp Consult owned by Odrek Rwabwoogo (President Museveni's son-in-law) on allegations of influence-peddling in the award of the contract.
