Are you inclining that the very same question that was asked in 1960 is
still being asked in 2012 and still getting the same response, only that the
numbers are changing? When will the dwanzies ever move on to higher
reasoning? How can a society remain in a revolving door for a whopping 50
years? Geez !!!! Now you know why we still use the oldest Buganda technology
of Ekinu and Omukalabanda in 2012 we are stuck with them in the very same
revolving door.
Now watch AMO is going to destroy this document as well. Just watch !!!!!!

01025_HOL_22> EARL WINTERTON
<http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/people/viscount-turnour>
My Lords, I beg leave to ask the Question which stands in my name on the
Order Paper.
§
<http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/lords/1960/oct/25/buganda#S5LV0225P0_196
01025_HOL_23> [The Question was as follows:
§
<http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/lords/1960/oct/25/buganda#S5LV0225P0_196
01025_HOL_24> To ask Her Majesty's Government why, in view of the almost
unanimous desire of the Buganda people for a Constitution separate from that
of the rest of Uganda, the request has been refused.]
LORD ST. OSWALD
My Lords, the Lukiiko passed a resolution on September 24 in which it was
stated that Buganda was determined to be a separate autonomous State. With
the agreement of my right honourable friend, the Governor rejected this
resolution because the demand for a separate Buganda is one to which Her
Majesty's Government cannot accede without serious injustice, not only to
the people of Buganda themselves but to the remaining 4½million people in
the other parts of the Protectorate. During the period of British rule the
economy, the communications system and many other services have been built
up by Uganda as a whole and it is abundantly clear that Buganda and the
other parts of the Protectorate are interdependent. Her Majesty's Government
are opposed to any policy which would result in the disintegration of the
country and a legacy of disarticulated Kingdoms, Provinces and Districts.
At the same time, however, Her Majesty's Government have always recognised
the special position of Buganda, and this has been reflected in the special
Constitution which now exists for that Kingdom. With that special position
in mind, and, indeed, also that of the other three Kingdoms, my right
honourable friend has, as your Lordships are aware, announced his intention
to set up a Relationships Commission to advise on the future form of
Government which will be suited to Uganda and on the question of the
relationship between the central Government and the other authorities. And
he has suggested that when this Commission's Report is available, which
should be soon after the elections have taken place in February or March, a
conference should be held, probably in the latter half of 1961, at which all
parts 997
<http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/lords/1960/oct/25/buganda#column_997>
of Uganda will be represented, so that a solution acceptable to all can be
worked out.
My Lords, the resolution of the Lukiiko to which I have referred or, indeed,
the memorandum which has subsequently been addressed to Her Majesty the
Queen, should not be taken as representing the almost unanimous view of the
people of Buganda. The fact is that these people have not so far had an
opportunity to express their views. It is to be hoped that the forthcoming
general election will provide such an opportunity. My right honourable
friend believes that it is by sending elected members to a central
Legislature that the peoples of Uganda can best tackle and solve their own
problems. For this reason he cannot but deplore the decision of the Buganda
Government not to co-operate in the elections and the statements they have
made designed to prevent people from registering as electors. My right
honourable friend trusts that even now wiser counsels will prevail and that
the Buganda Government will see the folly of pursuing a negative course that
can in no way protect or further the interests of their people.

01025_HOL_26> EARL WINTERTON
<http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/people/viscount-turnour>
My Lords, may I thank my noble friend for his full and interesting reply,
and ask him this supplementary question? Will an opportunity be given to
your Lordships' House and another place to discuss this very important
question before an irrevocable decision is taken by Her Majesty's
Government? And is he aware that Borne concern is felt by many of us at the
way in which Constitutions are either promised or given to various parts of
Africa without full consultation with Parliament?
LORD ST. OSWALD
My Lords, as my noble friend knows, it is always open to any noble Lord to
put down a Motion for debate if he feels that the interests of the House are
engaged, as I am sure they are in this case.

My Lords, while commending the Minister on the excellent reply he gave, may
I ask him whether the Government will do everything in their power to
persuade the people of Buganda to register in readiness for the forthcoming
elections?

01025_HOL_29> VISCOUNT ALEXANDER OF HILLSBOROUGH
<http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/people/mr-albert-alexander>
My Lords, I should rather like to have an answer to the question put by the
noble Earl, Lord Winterton, as to whether there will be actual Parliamentary
consultation before any decision is taken.
§
<http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/lords/1960/oct/25/buganda#S5LV0225P0_196
01025_HOL_30> THE LORD PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL AND MINISTER FOR SCIENCE
(VISCOUNT HAILSHAM)
<http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/people/mr-quintin-hogg>
My Lords, I do not know whether the noble Viscount would prefer me to answer
that question. Of course, if it is the desire of the House that must be
done; but perhaps the noble Viscount could pursue the matter through the
channels of discussion, because until my noble friend spoke no such request
had reached me.

01025_HOL_31> LORD OGMORE
<http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/people/lieut-colonel-david-rees-williams
>
My Lords, may I have an answer to my question: will the Government do
everything in their power to persuade the people of Buganda to register,
because, as he knows, at the present moment the Kabaka and his Government
are dissuading them from registeringand pretty forcibly, too.
LORD ST. OSWALD
My Lords, Her Majesty's Government are well aware of that, and, as the noble
Lord may be aware, a law was passed recently through the legislative body
enabling the Governor to take more action against any intimidation, against
either registration or casting of votes. That law has not yet been brought
into force, but should the scale of intimidation reach a point where it is
rendered necessary, it will be. It is ready to be used.

01025_HOL_33> THE EARL OF LISTOWEL
<http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/people/mr-william-hare>
My Lords, may I ask a further supplementary question? The noble Earl has
dealt with great ability with a Colonial Office brief, and it may be
difficult to add words to what he has said. Can he tell us how soon the
Relationships Commission will be appointed, or how soon we shall know when
it will be appointed, what its terms of reference will be, and who will sit
on the Commission?
LORD ST. OSWALD
My Lords, I am afraid that that is too difficult for me. I can tell the
noble Earl that the Relationships Commission is not yet complete, but it is
hoped, particularly by my right honourable friend, that the membership will
be completed as soon as 999
<http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/lords/1960/oct/25/buganda#column_999>
possible so that it will be possible to announce it. Its terms of reference
are rather more complicated than I can give him on this occasion, but I
shall certainly be pleased to give them later.
