Before 1906, there was no banking institution in Uganda until November of the same year when the national Bank of India opened its first branch in Entebbe, and four years later it opened the first bank in Kampala, although it was later taken up to become Grindlys Bank.

The National Bank of India was followed by Standard Bank of South Africa Limited when on September 19, 1912, it opened its first branch in Kampala. And a few years later it opened another branch in Jinja.

Barclays

Barclays followed in 1927 when it opened two branches in Kampala and Jinja. In 1954 three more banks; Bank of Baroda, Bank of India and The Nedelandsche Handel-Maatschappij M.V (Netherlands Trading Society) opened in Uganda.

According to Saben’s commercial directory and handbook of Uganda, as early as 1949 the banking system had been established in Uganda but did not control much of the financial liquidity that was in circulation across the board in the country.

“Much of the money was controlled in the bazaars and other channels which were predominantly controlled by people of the Asian origin. These people played a key role in the buying of cotton.

However, areas where banks were non-existent, merchants in those areas played the part of the banks. This was through taking drafts in exchange for cash or physical items in exchange for hard cash,” Saben wrote.

By 1950, it was realised that to bring more Africans into the business there was need to provide them with credit. Unfortunately, the commercial banks at the time would not extend credit to Africans because of the nature of their securities.

Under Ordinance number 20 of 1950 the Uganda Credit and Saving Bank was created purposely to extend credit facilities to Africans with the aim of furthering agriculture, commercial building and co-operative society purposes.

On October 2, 1950, the bank was opened and by 1961 it had spread to places like Arua, Fort Portal, Jinja, Soroti, Gulu, Masaka and Mbale, taking only African deposits.

Building Society

Two years later, the first Building Society in Uganda was opened as a subsidiary of a Kenyan owned firm Savings and Loans Society Limited.

More financial institutions continued to open up in Uganda with Lombard Bank from Kenya, in partnership with Uganda Development Corporation, opening the Lombank Uganda Limited in 1958. It was this bank which first introduced the hire purchase system of shopping in Uganda.

It was not until 1966 that through an act of Parliament that Bank of Uganda was created. Prior to this, issues to do with money were handled by the East African currency board which had its head offices in Kenya.

Bashir

Bashir 75, eyaggyiddwa mu buyinza ku Lwokuna oluwedde alina ssente obuwumbi bwa doola mwenda (9000 million dollars) eziterekeddwa mu bbanka ezenjawulo. Kigambibwa nti zonna yazinyaga mu Gavumenti naddala mu kutunda amafuta.

Abadde azinyaga ng’aziyisa mu bitongole by’ebyokwerinda ebirina enkizo ng’ensaasaanya yaabyo tetunulwamu.

Bwe kituuka ku bitongole ebikessi ebiri wansi w’amaka ga Pulezidenti ne ofiisi ye, Bashir abadde alagira ne ziweebwa baganda be Abdallah Hassan al-Bashir ne Al-Abbas Hassan al-Bashir. Bombi baakwatiddwa ku misango gy’enguzi n’okunyaga ensimbi za Gavumenti.

Bashir alina baganda be abamanyiddwa bataano. Okukwatibwa kwabwe kwalangiriddwa omwogezi wa Gavumenti ey’ekiseera Lieutenant General Shamseddine Kabbashi, ku Lwokusatu ekiro.

“Bavunaanibwa nguzi n’okunyaga ensimbi za Gavumenti okumala emyaka 30. Twagala bakomyewo ssente z’omuwi w’omusolo zonna ze baanyaga,” bwe yategeezezza.

Oba no omugagga Omwafrica ono, musolo ki gwabade asasula aba Revenue Authority, alyoke asigazewo omusimbi ogwo gwonna?

Abeekalakaasi abaavuddeko Bashir okugwa bakyalemeddeko nga baagala bannamagye obuyinza babukwase abantu baabulijjo kubanga nabo (bannamagye) kitundu ku Gavumenti ya Bashir.

Okukwata baganda ba Bashir kitunuuliddwa nga kaweefube wa bannamagye okukkakkanya abeekalakaasi nga bwe bagenda okukola ku nsonga ze baludde nga beemulugunyako naddala enguzi.

Bashir abadde amaze myaka 30 mu buyinza, yaggyiddwa mu kifo gy’abadde akuumirwa n’aggalirwa mu kkomera ery’amaanyi erya Kober mu Khartoum eno nga naye Bashir gye yasibiranga abamuwakanya.

en. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, akulira Sudan kati yeeyamye nga bw’atagenda kuttira ku liiso muntu yenna eyabba ssente za Gavumenti.

Alagidde ebitongole bya Gavumenti byonna okuwaayo akawunti kwe bitereka ensimbi munda mu Sudan n’ebweru zeetegerezebwe. Era yatuuzizza olukiiko lw’amagye ne lusalawo obubinja bwonna obw’abalina emmundu obwassibwawo Bashir okuyambako okukuuma emirembe, buzzibwe wansi w’amagye.

Kyokka amagye gaasazeewo Bashir kumuwozeseza mu Sudan olw’emisango gy’okutta abantu n’okutyoboola eddembe lyabwe e Darfur.

Wabula ekibiina ekirwanirira eddembe ly’obuntu ekya ‘Amnesty International’ kyawabudde Bashir atwalibwe mu kkooti y’Ensi Yonna eya International Criminal Court etuula mu Hague ekya Nertherlands.

Abasomesa n’abayizi ebiseera ebisinga bafuba okukola kye bateekeddwa okukola kubanga wabula abazadde oluusi tebafaayo nga balowooza nti bwe basasula ffiizi nga kiwedde. Kasole Bwerere Lwanga ng’ono munnabyanjigiriza agamba nti omuzadde bw’ataafe ku mwana we n’amulekera abasomesa tajja kuyiga bulungi.

Agamba nti ensobi ezikolebwa abazadde mulimu;

1Obutalaga mwana mukwano ng’asoma. Kino kikosa nnyo omwana ali mu pulayimale. Olina okumulaga nti omwagala era omwagaliza okusoma.
