The first known Katikkiro was a man named Walusimbi of the Ffumbe Clan, who was the prime minister during the reign of Chwa I Nabakka, the second Kabaka of Buganda, who reigned during the middle of the 14th century.

When the Katikkiro reaches the Butikkiro, he has to thank his clan members by organising a dinner (meal) for his clan as a norm. [6]
