Lineage
He is the youngest son of the late Kabaka Muteesa II, the 35th Kabaka the Kingdom of Buganda, and Winifred Keihangwe, an Ankole princess. Accordingly he is the youngest brother of Muwenda Mutebi II the current Kabaka of Buganda.
He was still in the womb when Milton Obote’s soldiers raided the Mengo Palace in 1966. His pregnant mother, unable to flee, was arrested and locked in Luzira Prison for several days, only being released for a few hours before going into labor. His father, the Kabaka, had fled the burning palace in disguise.[1]
Education
Prince Wasajja holds the degree of Bachelor of Arts (BA) from Nottingham University in the United Kingdom.[2]
Work history
Wasajja only returned home in 1996 and was immediately appointed executive underwriter for Pan World Insurance. Later, he moved on to become the retail regional manager for Celtel. In his capacity as a prince he has represented his brother the current Kabaka at high-profile functions, like the wedding of Muhoozi Kainerugaba and Charlotte Kuteesa. He accompanied his brother at crisis talks between the Kingdom of Buganda and the Republic of Uganda in September 2009 called after rioting in Kampala over the status of the renegade Kayunga District and the closure of a royalist Buganda radio station.
Local media claims Wasajja to be one of the eccentric "Hash Harriers", a group of Kampala socialites. He is also an avid runner and shooter.
