Mu myaka gya 1880 yakyusibwa n’afuuka Omukristaayo omuminsani Omupolotesitante eyamuyigiriza okusoma Baibuli mu Luswayiri. Olw’okuba yaduumira abalwanyi bangi, olw’enkolagana ye n’ekkooti ya Buganda era olw’okuba yali Mupolotesitante, Abazungu baasaba obuwagizi bwa Kakungulu mu kuteeka obufuzi obw’obwakabaka bwabwe mu buvanjuba bwa Uganda. Yaddamu ng’awamba n’okussa wansi obuyinza bwa Bungereza ebitundu bibiri ebweru w’Obwakabaka bwa Buganda, Bukedi ne Busoga . Ebitundu bino byali wakati w’ensibuko y’omugga Nile mu nnyanja Victoria n’olusozi Elgon ku nsalo ya Kenya. [6]

Kakungulu yali alowooza nti Abangereza bajja kumukkiriza okufuuka kabaka wa Bukedi ne Busoga, kyokka Abangereza baayagala nnyo okufuga ebitundu bino nga bayita mu bakozi ba gavumenti bebasasula omusaala era nga beebabafuga. Abazungu bassa Kakungulu ku kkomo lya kitundu kya mayiro 20 (kiromita 52) mu kitundu n’ebitundu ebiriraanyewo kati ekifuuse Mbale, Uganda. Abantu abaali babeera mu kitundu kino baali ba kika kya Bagisu abatakolagana na Baganda. Wadde kyali kityo, Kakungulu ng’ayambibwako abagoberezi be Abaganda, wadde nga omuwendo gwakendeera nnyo, yasobola okukuuma obuyinza kasita yafuna obuwagizi bw’Abangereza. [7]

Eyo gye yatandikira ekiwayi ekyeyawula ekyasooka okumanyibwa nga Kibiina Kya Bayudaya Abesiga Katonda (Ekibiina ky’Abayudaaya abeesiga Katonda Omuyinza wa byonna). Okuyingiza abantu mu kibiina kino ekya Bayudaya kumpi kwava mu bagoberezi ba Kakungulu Baganda abaali basigaddewo. [11]

Ekigendererwa ky’abaminsani kyali kya kulaga Bafirika nti n’Abazungu baali bafunye amazima okuva mu ggwanga ery’amawanga amalala. Naye olw’okussa essira kuno, obulombolombo n’empisa z’Abayudaaya byafuuka bya njawulo nnyo eri abagoberezi ba Kakungulu. [12]

Ekitabo kino kyalaga amateeka n’enkola z’Abayudaaya nga Kakungulu bwe yabisanga mu ndagaano enkadde, wadde nga kyalimu ennyiriri nnyingi n’ebitundu okuva mu ndagaano empya. Wadde nga waliwo okwagala kuno eri enkola z’Abayudaaya, kirabika tewaaliwo nkolagana yonna butereevu wakati wa Kakungulu n’Abayudaaya nga 1925 tannatuuka. [13]

Abayudaaya nga bano, mu kiseera ekirabika ng’eky’okusisinkana mu butanwa, baategeeza Kakungulu ku ddiini y’Ekiyudaaya ey’Obusodokisi. N’ekyavaamu, obulombolombo obw’Ekikristaayo bungi obwali busigaddewo bwaggyibwawo, okuli okubatizibwa. Mu nsisinkano zino, ekitundu kyayiga okukuuma Sabiiti, okusoma essaala n’emikisa egy’Olwebbulaniya, okusala ebisolo olw’ennyama mu ngeri ya Kosher, era n’okwogera n’Olwebbulaniya olumu. [14] [15]
