The Baruuli are ruled and governed by Ssabaluuli Mwogezi, who was crowned as their Isabaruuli by the president of Uganda Yoweri Kaguta Museveni.
Buruuli is a semi desert area where Lake Kyoga is their main source of food, employment and wealth.
Every family had a banana plantation and cows and this made them very happy and boastful to the other tribes they associated and lived with.
Commercially, the Baruuli of Nakasongola district trade with the neighbors who include the Langi, Acholi, Baganda, Banyoro and Bakenyi and Basoga.
Buruuli was part of Buganda Kingdom until Isabaruuli was installed by 129 clan heads and crowned by President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni on December 10, 2004.
