The King's Empaako (traditional alternative name used by family) is Amooti.
The Omukama (King) rose to the throne in 1994, after his father, Sir Winyi IV of Bunyoro, was annexed in 1967 by the Ugandan government.
In recent years, Solomon Iguri has promoted and developed the Kingdom, such as establishing the institution of the Association of the Representatives of Bunyoro-Kitara.
On 13 July 2010 The International Organization – CCLP Worldwide (Special Consultative Status with UN ECOSOC) bestowed the highest honor of the organization to Solomon Iguri for his services to the people of Bunyoro-Kitara.
