KINTU An immortal, and king of Uganda, Kintu was in the habit of visiting Katonda with news of goings-on on the Earth. Once the god entrusted to Kintu a sack, telling him not to open it, nor let anyone else near it, but becoming drunk, Kintu left the sack on the hill where he met Katonda, and the watchful god, annoyed at his instructions being disobeyed, deprived the king of his immortality, and sent sickness and death to Uganda.
