The Kabaka of Buganda launches a book on Ssekabaka Muteesa II struggles:

Posted Friday, 27 May, 2016

Kampala in the State Kingdom of Buganda:
Kabaka Ronald Mutebi on Wednesday, 25th May 2016,  launched a book about the struggles of his late father and former Buganda king, Edward Muteesa II, touching on Uganda’s history before and after independence.

The book titled The Brave King, revisits the stories of Muteesa’s exiling, first between 1953 and 1955, and again from 1966 to 1969 when he died in London. The author, Mr Patrick Makumbi, drew from the documents preserved by his father, 99-year-old Thomas Makumbi, who was an official at Mengo, Buganda’s power capital.

“I was very happy to write the preface to this book,” Kabaka Mutebi said, adding: “It will help the readers understand what Kabaka Muteesa went through in those days.”

When Mutesa was exiled in 1953, the older Makumbi, the father of the author, led a team of six Buganda officials to negotiate with the British about the king’s return to Buganda, which was secured in 1955. The other members of the team were Mr Apollo Kironde, Mr Matayo Mugwanya, Mr Amos Sempa, Mr Eridadi Mulira and Mr Ernest Kalibbala.

Kabaka Mutebi, while officiating at the function, called on more people to document what they saw during those days, saying “it is a good thing” that some of those who witnessed or participated in the events are still alive. Muteesa himself wrote about the period in question in his autobiography, The Desecration of my Kingdom, and Kabaka Mutebi’s endorsement of Mr Makumbi’s new book will be seen as an extension of the kingdom’s bid to manage the narrative.

Mr Apollo Makubuya, Buganda’s third deputy Katikkiro, at the launch held at Bulange-Mengo said there have been attempts to misrepresent history by “those who do not like us”.

Accusations and counter accusations of betrayal between Buganda Kingdom and Obote are rooted in a rather happy start, when Buganda’s party Kabaka Yekka (KY) teamed up with Obote’s Uganda People’s Congress to defeat the Democratic Party and form government at independence in 1962.

But the two centres of power soon quarrelled violently and were involved in what many have regarded as a critical turning point in Uganda’s history. The army, on Obote’s orders, stormed Muteesa’s palace on May 24, 1966, killing multitudes and forcing the king-president into exile.

Mr Makubuya said his grandfather was among those killed during the attack, an occasion the kingdom commemorates yearly on May 24. He said in addition to explaining how Buganda and Muteesa suffered during that period, Mr Makumbi’s book will clarify a number of other issues, including how colonialism thwarted Buganda’s development efforts.

He said Buganda stiffly resisted colonialism and the demands of colonial governor Andrew Cohen in particular, to the extent of winning a court case in London against the exiling of Muteesa. In all its efforts, Mr Makubuya said, Buganda was consistently seeking autonomy, and that the kingdom can “never” lose sight of this objective.

Mr Makumbi, the author, said his father could not attend the launch due to old age.

The publication of the book was financed by Dr Colin Sentongo, who said at the launch that KY, which ceased to exist in the 1960s, is the only political party he has ever belonged to.

The fathers of Mr Makumbi and Dr Sentongo met with Muteesa as students at Kings College Budo, from where, Mr Sentongo said, the three men forged a life-long friendship. It is probably much for this reason that Kabaka Mutebi warmed up to Mr Sentongo and Mr Makumbi at the launch.

The first bank in The Ganda Kingdom:

By Henry Lubega
 

Posted  Sunday,1 st March,  2015 

  

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.

Janet halts distribution of donated funds, items to schools as corruption continues to eat up the country of Uganda: 

In Uganda, an emergency education law should be made out to force all children to attend class for at least 7 solid hours a day for 5 days. This way NRM corruption in education will be able to be defined properly by the various media outlets.

The Education minister Janet Museveni

 

 

The minister of Education and Sports, Janet Kataha Museveni has reportedly halted the allocation of funds and distribution of items donated by the private sector to facilitate the recovery of the education sector citing foul play by ministry officials. 

In November last year when Uganda prepared for school reopening, the Education ministry organised a symposium with the aim of bringing together key stakeholders from the private sector to support its recovery programmes.

During the conference, a total of 34 institutions agreed to contribute support totalling Shs 247.9 billion, with representatives from the Global Partnership for Education promising to match every shilling provided by the private sector, bringing the total to Shs 495.8 billion. Others promised to provide physical items and services.

Now, URN has learnt that other organizations have been honouring their commitments from the beginning of the year. According to ministry sources, a significant sum of money, as well as other physical assets, have already been gathered from ten institutions. However, there have been suspicions that some officials were planning to take some of the funds and items.

"They intended to distribute some of this cash to schools that had already overcome their challenges," one of the sources pointed out.

Before the reopening, the government granted recovery funding to schools in need. Other schools, on the other hand, got help from their local governments, communities, and non-governmental groups. The ministry also recommended that schools with significant issues, such as a shortage of classrooms be helped through budget allocation, which was done.

According to the source, months after reopening, schools with difficulties that had previously been helped were also on the list of schools that would be supported with private sector cash. This triggered the education minister to raise questions.

"At first, top management thought that the items could be given to schools as they come in. But, remember they have been several lines of funding the recovery programme. The first lady was worried about duplication of work or even misallocation of resources and possibility of swindling the funds,” the source added.

Dr Jane Egua-Okou, the director for higher technical vocational education and training in the ministry of Education has confirmed the development noting that the minister has since ordered that all the available resources from the private sector be but in one pull at the moment.

Egua-Okou adds that Ms Museveni has also directed that a new assessment be carried out to establish schools to benefit from the funds collected from the private sector. 

Although Egau-Okou ruled out corruption tendencies in the process, she says the move has been made to ensure that funds are not directed to schools whose problems are already solved yet there are others who are still in dire need of help.

She also disclosed that they have so far collected Shs 1.5 billion in cash from local private sector players and the money is currently in a given account in the Bank of Uganda. She further adds that several development partners like UNICEF have also met their pledges though their contributions are channelled in other well-established avenues.
