HL Deb 26 July 1962 vol 242 cc1145-72 1145
§ Order of the Day for the Second Reading read.
§ THE EARL OF DUNDEE
My Lords, I have At in command from Her Majesty the Queen to acquaint the House that Her Majesty, having been informed of She purport of the Uganda Independence Bid, has consented to place Her Majesty’s Prerogative and interest so far as they are affected by the Bill at the disposal of Parliament for the purposes of the Bill.
§ THE MINISTER FOR COLONIAL AFFAIRS (THE MARQUESS OF LANSDOWNE)
My Lords, I beg to move that this Bill be now read a second time. The object of the Bill is to provide for the Independence of Uganda. I am sure that your Lordships will be pleased to know that it was the unanimous wish expressed at the Independence Conference that Uganda should remain in the Common wealth and be under the sovereignty of Her Majesty the Queen, as Queen of Uganda. It so happens that it is almost exactly 100 years since the explorers Speke and Grant discovered the headwaters of the Nile and it was from this date that our association with Uganda began. It is now 68 years since the Protectorate was first declared. During these years Uganda has been growing into a nationhood. Its peoples have been learning to work together to create a stable and happy country. There is a growing spirit of co-operation in Uganda and in recent years a read basis of political unity has been worked out.
The Munster Com-mission (which your Lordships will remember was the Relationships Commission) did much to promote this spirit of unity, and I should like to record the gratitude of Her Majesty’s Government to the noble Earl, Lord Munster, who led the Commission, and to his distinguished colleagues Professor Wade and Dr. Marshall.
At the Independence Conference which was concluded on June 29 at Marlborough House, arrangements were agreed which offer a permanent solution to many of the long-standing problems which have faced Uganda. The most important and baffling of these problems
1146 has been the welding of the traditional kingdoms of Buganda, Ankole, Bunyoro and Toro into a modern structure of Government The Report of this Conference is contained in Command Paper No. 1778, which was recently laid before Parliament. Uganda, perhaps more than any other British territories in Africa, has been notable for the exceptional strength of its tribal loyalties and institutions.
Buganda, with its central position, with its highly developed system of Government, its Kabaka, and its traditional Council the Lukiko has tended to overshadow the rest of the country. The other kingdoms and districts have also been equally concerned to preserve their individuality. They have all, however, been willing to make sacrifices in order that the new Independent Uganda should have sufficient strength and cohesion to play its part in the affairs of the modern world.
The difficult question of the position of Buganda was to a large extent solved at the Lancaster House Conference last year. The work of the Independence Conference last month was greatly facilitated by this preparatory work. A federal relationship between Buganda and the Central Government had then been agreed, and a satisfactory relationship has now been worked out between the other Kingdoms and districts and the Central Government. Noble Lords will remember that the Central Government, under the leadership of Mr. Obote, has been in office for less than three months. None the less, during this short time much constructive work has been done.
The success of the Independence Conference was in no small part due to the confidence which Mr. Obote and his Ministers were able to inspire in the delegates from all parts of the country. Having myself sat for many hours in the Constitutional Committee, I was able to see this for myself. I should like to pay my tribute to the painstaking care and obvious sense of responsibility with which the Uganda delegates set about their task. I am bound to say that again and again during the course of the Conference regional interests were pressed; but equally, my Lords, when there seemed some danger that these regional interests were being over-emphasised, the good sense of the delegates prevailed, and they reminded themselves that their
1147 purpose was to achieve a Constitution which would benefit Uganda as a whole.
There was one issue at the Conference which proved incapable of solution by agreement. This was the dispute between the Kingdoms of Buganda and Bunyoro over the so-called “lost counties”. As your Lordships will remember, the Prime Minister appointed a Commission consisting of three Members of your Lordships’ House, under the chairmanship of Lord Molson, assisted by Lord Listowel and Lord Ward of Witley, to advise the Government on this difficult question. Those of your Lordships who have read their report will, I am quite certain appreciate the immense care and close consideration of all the facts with which they discharged their task.
Like the Munster Commission, Lord Molson’s Commission treated the problem of the “lost counties” as a political question and not as a juridical one. Their report, your Lordships will remember, recommended that two of the counties, Buyaga and Bugangazzi, should be transferred from Buganda to Bunyoro. We entered upon the Independence Conference with the conviction that this would be the best solution to the problem, if the two Kingdoms could be brought to agree to it. But, my Lords, in the event, Buganda were adamant that there should be no transfer of territory. They maintained that the territory concerned was lawfully theirs, and, furthermore, that Lord Molson’s Commission had to a very large extent acquitted them of charges of discrimination.
As there could be no agreement, my right honourable friend had to weigh very carefully the consequences of an imposed decision. He took fully into account the Commission’s warnings of the risk of serious disturbances in the future if nothing were done. He also accepted their view that the atmosphere was quite unsuitable for holding a referendum in the short time available before the promised date of independence. He therefore decided upon a solution which gave the responsibility of the administration of the two counties to the Central Government for a period, and with it the responsibility to give the people who live there the opportunity by a referendum to decide their own future
1148 in conditions of peace and security. It is our belief that this solution will give security to the peoples concerned, and should greatly reduce the threat to peace and good order at this crucial period in the life of Uganda.
As your Lordships know, the view was urged in another place that there should be written into the Constitution a date before which the referendum must be held, or, at least, that a public declaration should be made in Uganda that a referendum will be held, without necessarily putting a date to it. An undertaking was given that these views would be put to Mr. Obote and this has been done. Mr. Obote is now embarking upon discussions on the practical implementation of the Conference’s decisions. I am sure that your Lordships would not wish that by anything we say here to-day we should complicate the issue in Uganda.
My Lords, turning to the Bill itself, Clause 1 is in the normal form and provides for the fully responsible status of Uganda. Clause 2 deals with nationality matters consequent upon the attainment of independence by Uganda. The provisions here are similar to those for Tanganyika. Clause 3 deals with consequential modifications to other enactments. Clause 4 enables loans to be made to the East African Common Services Organisation under the
Colonial Development and Welfare Act, 1959, after the Independence of Uganda. This follows the precedent in the
Tanganyika Independence Act. Clause 5 interprets the words “existing Constitution Order”, which means the Uganda (Constitution) Order in Council, 1962, which was made on February 26 this year. Clause 6 is the short title of the Bill.
My Lords, I think we can look back with pride at the period of the British protection over Uganda, and I feel sure that your Lordships will endorse the sincere thanks of Her Majesty’s Government to the British civil servants who have contributed so much to Uganda’s progress. We are particularly glad to know that the Government of Uganda is anxious to retain their services after independence, and that the arrangements made under the Overseas Service Aid Scheme have made it possible for many of them to decide to stay on. I think it is right that at this time we should also
1149 remember the part played by explorers, traders, members of the professions, doctors, lawyers, and the like, and above all the missionaries, whose work has been so particularly successful in Uganda. My Lords, I beg to move.

One early morning early last week, I pulled at Hashi Petrol station in Nansana and gave the pump attendant, Rachael a twenty thousand shilling note. At 2500 shillings a litre, she fills eight litres. I varoom off in the knowledge that 104 litres will last the whole day.
As the week bore on, something disturbing began to emerge in the petroleum industry. The fuel price is rising, an upward movement that is now capping at 3000 litres. A 20% increment that can get worse, that will heat the economy to our pain and agony. The contagion is slow, it will move to the food sector where transporters are too keen to pass the fuel hikes to vendors. At that point, the pain will manifest clearly, taking food off the menu for most people.
Ultimately, the salariat, especially those in the lower quartile will fill the pinch. As reducing spend on food is not bad enough, some employers will cut jobs. The employers in the informal sector are wont to doing this.
Tough times lie in wait. Although no marked reaction is forth coming so far from allied industries, the explosion is looming, it will take a firm hand from government to stop this spiral. If it does not, the fuel crises will lead to the economy to slow down.
Ras could not have captured the mood better. That this palm Sunday, Jesus Christ will travel on a donkey because fuel prices have ruled out driving in car for him. For many people this was the reality yesterday.
Guys, we have high quality hydrocarbons waiting for us to come get them in Bunyoro. Why the long wait. Time is now to bring forth this black gold and let be the risky dependence on OPEC supplies be.

I passed by Kasubi tombs last night, and found police rounding up young people. I did not know the fire had escalated. A Radio one presenter had given a hint of the fire, she said fire had broken out at Kasubi tombs, but that the light drizzle had put it off.
It was therefore surprising to find police manhandling people. A beeline of military and police reinforcement were climbing up the road to deter the situation from running out of control.
It can not be this bad. If it is, I better get out of here very quickly. I step on the gas. As I slope down, the Pajero infront of me is zooming, I race after him and join Hoima road.
Police on patrol, others in antitriot gear walking single file. Kasubi Market is calm, but the cars are surprisingly few, maybe guys are watching the Chelsea – Intermilan match, Maybe.
Kampala woke up to the sad news; lost generations of Buganda kings, lost artefacts, lost history. Uganda has above all lost a UNESCO world heritage site and with it a source of revenue from tourists.
The mood is one of disbelief, sombre. How can someone deny the country a revenue source. That is if someone done it. If someone did not do it, what misfortune can befall a people, a country.
My heart goes to all Buganda and Uganda for this irreplaceable loss.

A practical lesson on respect for the environment
Kayondo Hamdan is your typical Uganda. A happy, generous man, with a passion for sports. Yesterday, was not an ordinary day for him as he battled the scourge of el nino. When the rains started before down, he thought this would be the normal 30 minute, nay, okay, two-hour downpour. It was not, the rain gained pace and produced a record of sorts.
It rained for about 12 hours, abating at 4.00pm local time. The last time Kampala enjoyed this generosity was in November 2006, read (http://geriani.blog.com/tag/compliments-to-undo-325/). The better part of the outskirts of the city was swamped with water. The water made a move, to reclaim its land.
It is a war of attrition, when the sun is high and the mood feels good, Kampalans descend on wetlands and say, we have arrived. Yes, arrived to prosperity. Surely you must show proof that is believable. To show proof, they descend on the city wetlands, deplete it of vegetation and erect semi-permanent structures of houses. In effect, the natural control of flooding is removed leaving water the agony of finding its level. Many times it does not, it simply stays and collects and fills the wetlands.
Kampala is a city of several hills, not the mythical seven any more. The conurbation has taken away the mysticism associated with the seven. Now that sounds familiar. Anyway, upscale Kampalans like to stay at the top. They live on hills and thus generally survive the vagaries that Kayondo must endure when the skies light up and drench this city. Looking closely at the mansions, concrete. Concrete verandahs, concrete gardens atop concrete walls. The per capita coverage of the city with concrete must have quadrupled as the dwellers prospered.
In effect, when water starts to fill the city, it should sink in the soil. We do not allow that with our fixation with concrete. So it runs off to find the wetlands habituated. It must be agonising for poor water. Instead of running into Lake Nalubaale, it must stay in Bwaise, Kalerwe, Nateete and give because Kampala is now wealthier and the desire to prove it has taken away its pathway.
Water is vindictive. You can run, but you will never hide. Kampala slowed yesterday. It was a city of a thousand excuses, to come late, not work; the civil service was most affected. Owino was a huge pigsty. The deluge has started, the agony just started. Hamdan better find means and climb to higher ground.

The skies over the kabugga ka empala, Kampala opened at 4.00am this morning and unleashed a torrent of water that has surpassed the 10 hour mark. It is raining for over 10 hours now.
Now, the city is in a strange stranglehold of water. Sections of the city especially surburbian Kampala in Bwaise, Natete, Jinja Rd, Makindye and the areas that people have chosen to reclaim…..( ) is submerged….

ARIAKAPosted under 1 Tags: Kampala loves shopping on Chris eve.
Down town Kampala is beehive of activity. The mass of people, shoving and twisting, competing with taxis, boda boda, buses….
Traders have taken the market to the streets to capture some action from the sea of shoppers. From Luwum street, Namirembe road, Ben Kiwanuka street, name it (street). X-mass is dawning upon us, and everyone is in a race to get there, to be ready.
Yes, the sounds, the dust, very omnious. The din of megaphones, recorded tapes playing at full volume; carrying the message to the people – come for the best bargain. But bargain it is not, as the prices of goods have stayed firmly upwards. The noise beseech shoppers. Some stop to stoop; keen on the drapiery, shoes etc.
Hope every body gets something.
Merry Chrismas my good fellows, may the holidays be a blessing to those with needs, fufil the hearts of those giving. May the new year bring the thrills and joys.
Enjoy!!!!!!!

2009 is the year that was predicted to be painful to Uganda. When Off shore investors withdrew over USD 400 million last year, the pressure on the Uganda shillings was immediate. The dollar appreciated to a new high of USD/Shs 2300. It was unprecedented, many observers quickly pointed to the eminent effect of the global economic down turn on the country.
Indeed, many companies took note and scaled down development plans and took a cautious spending approach. We saw in the new year; marketing budgets were sliced, some corporates cut jobs while many companies stopped hiring altogether.
However, the year saw an interesting turn of events as bank of Uganda’s Deputy Governor, Patrick Kabakama would tell us. That the terms of trade was improving. In fact we in the an unlikely surplus of USD 2.7 billion. Uganda did roaring business exporting to new markets in Southern Sudan, and reaping from the misfortune that befell Kenya after the 2007 elections. In Kenya, agricultural production in Western parts of the country ground to a trickle as the country reeled from post-election violence.
The country had another shocker. This time the climate was harsh. Failing rains, meant drying riverbeds, declining arability of land and we saw, the grimness of it all in the death at city abbatoir in Nairobi, of emaciated livestock.
That sad story has a flip side. In all these forlorn picture, Uganda is thriving. The weather has been nicer to us, we produced and now fully blessed with alluring markets in the East and North of our border.
Southern Sudan is home to 8.6 million (April 2008 Census figures) mostly tall and huge people. Certainly they have a huge appetite that needs a constant flow of food. Unfortunately, the southern government is new and the institutions required for production is undeveloped
That is sweet music to Uganda, as the country cashed in on the kill, exporting thousands upon thousands of maize and other farm produce to levels the country has never witnessed before.
In the midst of the worst economic crisis in four decades, Uganda finds a cushion in the unlikely of places. The market forces unfortunately meant, that produce was moving away, creating a huge void in country where the prices surged to new heights as demand outstripped supply.
Many Ugandans had now to adjust to this new reality. Those with comfortable incomes may not have felt this surge in the cost of living, many adjusted to it. In the words of Professor John Sender of Cambridge University, there was no marked adjustment in workers earning in the wake of percieved economic hardships.
He echoes the common feeling by many employers who took a cautious spending streak, certainly increasing workers pay to match the soaring inflatuion is not a wise thing to do.
The good professor is the author of a report commissioned by by United Nations International Labour Organisation in conjunction with Uganda’s ministry of Gender, Labour and Community Services, on the effects of Global Economic economic crisis on Uganda. He did it with Erik Von Uexkull, of ILO headquarter, Trade department.
The report makes a sombre reading as it highlights the fate of the most vulnerable and poor of the house holds in Uganda in the wake of this price reality. It says poor households spend over 60% of their income on food. With employers not adjusting wages to factor in the food inflation, the real wages of this segment of society has dropped as they increasingly are having reducing purchasing power.
The increase in the export of food stuffs and to an extent other goods, albeit through informal trading groups meant the country would earn foreign exchange that would fill the coffers of Bank of Uganda, but deprive people of the means to afford a food. Of course the biggest losers in all these are the girl children, who now must stop school because their parents would rather have the boys in schools or no child at all, owing to rising cost of living. Many girls are roundly married off at the earliest.
Is this the effect of the global economic down turn on the country? Of course not. It is well known that the world is experiencing the effects of a shrinking world trade, that was sparked off on Wall street by hedge funds where a combination of stock market deregualtion and greed by industry players created a huge financial bubble that burst.
Uganda has the least of linkages with that system. In fact I recall NSSF as a few of Uganda’s presence on that market. Therefore, we survived the full thrust of the economic down turn on account of this minimal engagement. Nevertheless, we suffered from secondary effects, on the fear that the country might respond by tightening forex controls.
We saw that in the panic by off shore investors, who withdrew their investments. According to the deputy Governor, they soon realised their folly and are returning the money. Where else in the world is Return on Investment sweeter, than in Africa, than in Uganda.
We will say therefore, that what we have seen in inflation, as the result of good harvest from our produce. Unfortunately, we are simply unprepared to cash in on this good fortune meaningfully, owing to our low capacity. We need to restructure our agricultural production. Perhaps, the land bill is a good starting point, as distortions in land ownership is cleaned. We would then respond more vigourously and profitably.
In the report, Professor John did say that Uganda appeared to have survived the effects of global economic crisis. However, many labour related issues came to the fore. The lack of labour statistics, the lack of a minimum wage etc., to which a number of suggestions were put forth.
A comprehensive national employment policy is top on the agenda. All the participants at the workshop, where the report was launched by Hon. Eriya Kategeya at Protea hotel last week, were unanimous that this policy is long overdue and that government is already working with stakeholders to make it a reality.

Yesterday, my Bureau Chief, Michael brought news to the effect that Kisekka market was on fire. This news came in at about midday. It can not be a very bad news as Kisekka market is known to be a troublesome spot, where riotings can happen spontaneously. Later it emerged from news on the FM stations that this small problem at Kisekka market had conflagrated and that rioting had spread across downtown Kampala where roads were being blocked by rioters, bon fires were being lit.
At 3.30 pm I decided it was time to pick my little angel Elizabeth from School and take her home before night fall, and to evade the situation as rioting had now engulfed the entire city, save the central business district area. My colleagues advised against driving, but suggested that I use boda boda (motor cycle taxis) instead.
I take the advice and pick Laban from the stage and proceed to pick the little angel. Laban was at first unwilling to make the trip to Nansana. It took a bit of haggling and finally, we set off. The first sign of trouble was at Central police station, vehicles were being diverted off Buganda road to George way. We finally make it to the school and pick Aiikoru.
Then we started off onto Bombo road and onto Makerere Hill road. At the Kobil petrol station, fire is smoldering on the road, but police has cleared the road and traffic flows smoothly. A few metres, away, we hear teargas canister expode. When we reached Nakulabye, the Hoima road has been sealed off. So we continue along Mutesa II road onto the Nabulagala road and proceed towards the Masiro. At Kasubi, the road is sealed off by locals, lined by amused onlookers, some boys singing the Buganda anthem. No vehicles can move at all. Boda Boda must stop, dismount and walk past the erected barricades.
After 10 metres of walking, we mount the motor cycle and edge slowly to Namungoona. At the stage, rioters have blocked the road. You can see that the road has been blocked all the way from Kasubi. At Namungoona stage, youths have blocked the road and are collecting used lorry tyres to light a born fire. Looking beyond the stage, fire is raging across the road through the Lubigi swamp all the way to Jenina stage. The swamp and the areas around is engulfed in plums of dark smoke, releasing Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) into the sky. Laban stops and implores me to release him as he is afraid, he can not make the journey anymore. I pay him and join the multitude walking home.
We pass hordes of youths chanting the Buganda anthem, some collecting tyres, and all sorts of fuel to pile on the embers flaring on the road. This scenario is repeated every 20 metres. The youths are angry. Angry, at the government refusal the landlord (the Kabaka) from visiting his land. At some point, after Jenina, youths are exhorting money from boda boda riders, asking for road toll.
We walk passed several blockades, plums of smoke, chanting and excited youths, walking masses and anxious onlookers. We get news of people walking home in Kampala, children stranded at schools and that some people, for fear of going home are going instead to Mulago Hospital Complex for the night. We meet mothers fearing for their children who are stranded at school. It is 5.00 pm and with transport paralyzed, it is truly scary.
Before we reach home, on the advice of a policeman at Nansana police post, we take a detour from the main road and emerge at the Shell at Masitowa and slope home, after sidestepping the many barricades that characterize the road now. Rioters are shouting xenophobic utterances. We want to see a Munyala now, we want the ones with long noses. Very scary, if you consider what happened in Rwanda. It becomes very very scary. The profile of the youth is also telling. They are mainly in their teens or twenties, a few in the thirties, they speak and act as if they are high on some substance. I saw some children, ten to 15 year olds waving twigs and jumping on the road, they should be at school. Sometimes they accost you, requiring of you to sing the Buganda anthem as a password.
On reaching home, I quickly tune the radio to find out what is going on. The news is bad. Trouble in Natete, Bwaise, Kibuye, Masaka, Kyengera, Jinja road, Ntinda, Nakulabye, Kasubi, literally all over Kampala. Mubende, Mpigi and Kayunga is tense as rioters had emerged in those areas. All the road leading into the city is sealed off and travelers from upcountry are stranded outside the city. There is no movement of cars in the suburbs. The BBC has a news bulletin on the incident. But their story is shallow as it is limited to the city only and a sound bite of excited rioters.
At about 700 pm, lights are switched off. Then the bullets start. The army had arrived to disperse the youths and the sporadic firing could tell the tense situation. People scamper for their homes and the roads cleared. Radio Uganda has the President on, addressing the Nation. He recounts the history of this conflict. From the unprincipled partnership between Kabaka Yekka party and UPC, to the land bill, insights into the restoration of Kingdoms and how they could operate, rebuffing federalism for Uganda as being a panacea for corruption and mismanagement, to giving us a glimpse into his relationship with the Kabaka.
The president says that the Kabaka refused to pick his calls, nor return his missed calls for two years. That despite the concerted efforts of the National Security to meet with Mengo to resolve this impasse, nothing had happened. When he finally spoke to his Highness, the discussion is not conclusive as regards resolving many outstanding issues. And that the Katikkiro (Prime Minister of Buganda) had snubbed the minister of internal affairs in a scheduled meeting.
When sleep weighed heavily on the eye lids, sporadic fire aroused me to attention.
Nansana went to bed very tense. By 7.00 pm, horrified people had closed their doors, the shops had closed by 2.00 pm and the thought of the bad days of childhood, of people sleeping in the forests became alive. Surely Uganda can not afford to relive the bad days.
