In a statement, the kingdom said Daudi Chwa was the last king to sire twins. They are Kalemera and Kiggala and they were born in 1925.
Buganda culture stipulates that the Kabaka and his wives are free to raise children in the palace despite their origin as long as the Kabaka agrees to it, read the statement.
The statement also said that these children can call the Kabaka their father and they can also call his wives their mothers.
