Kooki Buganda Agreement

I declare, Ernest James Lennox Berkeley, Commissioner and Consul General of Her British Majesty for the British Protectorate of Uganda and the Neighbouring Territories, and I announce that I am satisfied that the above-mentioned Agreement has been concluded by the Parties on behalf of and with full understanding of all the provisions and that, after having received all necessary powers in this matter by the Chief Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs of your On behalf of the Government of Her Majesty, you approve this agreement and declare that it is ratified and in conformity and that it is therefore binding on both parties concerned; Believing in it, I hereby place my seal of the Office in public baraza at the place and date indicated in the above agreement. However, Kooki`s current leaders doubt the existence of such an agreement, according to Kiwanuka`s letter. In what is considered an attempt to make similarities with Buganda and create a clear identity, Katikkiro`s Kiwanuka title was changed to Katuukiro. Kooki became a county under Buganda by an 1896 agreement signed by Kamuswaga of Kooki Kezekia Ndahura with the former Kabaka, Daniel Mwanga. He asked Mengo to fully respect the 2013 agreement between the kingdom and the government. He explained that the Buganda Kooki agreement no longer worked when the government of Dr. Apollo Milton Obote abolished monarchies in Uganda. «This means that the binding agreements that existed at the time were null and void and not adventurous,» he said. Until 1896, Kooki was an independent kingdom, that of Omukama Edward Kezekia Ndahura II. was ruled, a Munyoro and descendant of Omukama Bwohe, who is said to have founded the kingdom around 1696. Bwohe was a Mubito prince of the Bunyoro-Kitara dynasty, who led his followers to found a new kingdom. Omukama Bwohe is said to have lived until about 1740.

On November 18, 1896, Ndahura, omukama and Kabaka Mwanga, signed an agreement of allegiance to Mengo, on behalf of the Queen of England, before the British Commissioner for Uganda, Ernest James Lennox Berkeley.However, the agreement was officially recognized and ratified on May 4, 1903. by Commissioner Berkeley, on behalf of the BRITISH Foreign Office. By the treaty, Kooki became an integral part of the Buganda Kingdom and was recognized as a first-class county (Saza) with special status. Before the agreement was signed, Ndahura had arrived in present-day Kampala in 1894 and requested that his kingdom enter into an independent protection contract with the British, but his request was not accepted. The agreement between Kooki and Buganda reads entirely as follows: Once an independent kingdom, Kooki became part of Buganda in 1896, through a loyalty agreement signed between Kamuswaga of Kooki Omukama Edward Kezekia Ndahura and Kabaka Daniel Mwanga of Buganda. «He is free to say what he wants, aware that the Constitution is above all laws and agreements; no one is above the Constitution,» Walusimbi said.
