In November, he changed the position of the British government and accepted the return of mutesa, subject to the adoption and implementation of namirembe`s recommendations. [5] [6] In December, a committee chaired by Michael Kintu was set up to advise Bugandan Lukiko on whether to accept Namirembe`s recommendations. [3] In the end, the Kintu Committee supported the recommendations with a number of proposed amendments: the postponement of municipal and successor forms and the launch of direct elections to Lukiko. [3] The report of the Kintu Commission was adopted by the Lukiko on 9 May 1955 by 77 votes in favour, 8 votes against and 1 abstention. [3] 41. The Buganda Constitution, contained in the First Annex to the Buganda (Transitional) Agreement of 1955 (hereinafter referred to in this article as the «Transitional Constitution»), shall cease to have effect upon the entry into force of this Constitution. Provided that the solemn undertaking under Article 41 of the Transitional Constitution is deemed to have been made in accordance with Article 5, paragraph 1, of this Constitution and that the relevant provisions of this Article apply to it, and provided that any appointment lawfully made or anything made under the provisions of the Transitional Constitution is deemed to have been made under this Constitution. And provided that the Kabaka appoint the incumbent ministers appointed under the Transitional Constitution as ministers of that Constitution in the manner provided for in Article 13 of that Constitution. After the adoption of the new agreement, Mutesa duly returned to Buganda[3] and the main agreement was duly signed on 18 October. [1] [3] The signatures of the Kabaka, the Governor and other witnesses appear at the end of the treaty. [1] I agreed with the representatives of Buganda Lukiko on the draft of a new Buganda Agreement to supplement and, if necessary, amend the 1900 Agreement.
I hope that this agreement will lead to a better understanding aimed at the general well-being of all parties concerned. this agreement can be cited together as the Buganda Agreements from 1894 to 1955. 21 (1) Subject to the provisions of this section, the Lukiko shall be constituted in accordance with section 5 of the Buganda Agreement of 1955 in the manner provided for in the Grand Lukiko (Election of Deputies) Act of 1953. May I also join in my warm and sincere congratulations to the honourable Member on the success of these long negotiations? He was patient, conciliatory and of course sincerely anxious to reach an agreement satisfactory to all. But also the representatives of Buganda and the representatives of the Kabaka, and I would also like to congratulate them very warmly. SIGNED on this eighteenth day of October 1955. For and on behalf of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, II A.B. COHEN Governor After further negotiations in London, the Namirembe Recommendations (with minor amendments) were adopted in July 1955 in the form of a new Buganda Agreement, which would «supplement and, if necessary, amend the 1900 Agreement» rather than replace it. [3] [7] The main delay was caused by a conflict between Mutesa`s desire to sign the final agreement in Buganda and the British view that his consent was a condition of his return. [7] The solution found was «a transitional agreement that will run until the main agreement in Buganda is signed by the Kabaka upon its return.
This transitional agreement, with the exception of the transitional provisions, will have the same conditions as the main agreement and will be signed by the personal representatives of the Kabaka after approval by the Lukiko. Six weeks after the appointment of Buganda ministers and Buganda representatives to the Legislative Council under the new agreements, [the British government] would allow the Kabaka to return to Buganda, where it will sign the main agreement. [7] The Transitional Agreement was translated into Luganda and adopted on August 15, 1955. [1] On Tuesday, March 10, on the occasion of the 120th anniversary of the Kingdom of Buganda, under Kabaka (King) Daudi Chwa, he jumped into bed with the British. The signing of the agreement not only took away the kingdom`s rights, but also paved the way for paternalism and looting of other parts of Uganda. The agreement enshrined British rule in Buganda and also gave the Baganda the opportunity to extend their influence to other parts of the country. Territories that were not below the kingdoms were taken over by Buganda`s neocolonial agents such as Semei Kakungulu. Daudi Chwa, who was a minor when the deal was signed, said that at the age of majority, he said British control had diluted his authority. My current position is so precocious that I am no longer the direct leader of my people. My subjects see me only as one of the paid British servants. That`s because I don`t really have power over my people, not even the smallest leader,» Chwa said after Baganda and the British rule of Low and Pratt in 1900-1995. .
