Article 6 dealt with Kabaka`s payments to the chief of Sazza. This was a new development in the Ganda administration. The three regents were entitled to $400 a year until the young king woke up. Kabaka is expected to receive $400 a year, Sazza Chefs $200, three state officials – prime minister, chief justice and treasurer – $300 each, while Namasole (Chhwa`s mother) is expected to receive $50. It was an annual cottage tax and the firearms tax. The signing in 1900 took place after years of negotiations under the leadership of Bishop Alfred Tucker. It is not surprising that the Anglican Church, under the aegis of the Church`s missionary society, took the lion`s share of the new administration after the agreement was signed. The agreement had three sections: power-sharing, the public financial system, and the country. But there were difficulties because Kabaka Chwa was just a miner who was not involved in the negotiations. The Uganda Agreement (alternatively the Treaty of Mengo) of March 1900 formalized relations between the Kingdom of Uganda and the British Protectorate of Uganda. [1] It was amended by the Buganda Agreement of 1955 and the Buganda Agreement of 1961. 5.

Laws promulgated by Her Majesty`s Government for the general management of the Protectorate of Uganda shall also apply to the Kingdom of Uganda, unless they are particularly contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, in which case the provisions of this Agreement constitute a specific exception in respect of the Kingdom of Uganda. The agreement stipulated that the Kabaka were to exercise direct domination over the indigenous people of Buganda, who administered justice through the Lukiiko and their officials. [6] He also consolidated the power of the largely Protestant Bakungu client chiefs, led by Kagwa. The British sent only a few officials to administer the country and relied mainly on the Bakungu chiefs. For decades, they were favored for their political skills, Christianity, friendly relations with the British, ability to raise taxes, and Entebbe`s proximity to the Ugandan capital. In the 1920s, British administrators were more confident and had less need for military or administrative support. [4] 20. If the Kingdom of Uganda does not make payments to the Ugandan administration within the first two years after the signing of this Agreement, an amount of internal taxation equal to half of the tax due in relation to the number of inhabitants; or if he does not pay at any time without valid reason or excuse, the above-mentioned minimum level of taxes due in relation to the population; or should the Kabaka, the chiefs or the people of Uganda at all times pursue a decidedly disloyal policy towards the British protectorate; Her Majesty`s Government shall no longer feel bound by the provisions of this Agreement. On the other hand, if the revenue from the hat and arms tax exceeds two years with a total value of £45,000 per year, the Kabaka and county chiefs have the right to apply to His Majesty`s Government for an increase in the subsidy for the Kabaka and scholarships for local ministers and chiefs. this increase must be proportional to the increase in revenue from the taxation of premises.

In 1935, Sir Philip Mitchell arrived in Uganda as governor after serving in Tanganyika for the past sixteen years. He was convinced that relations between Uganda and the Protecting Power should be of a different character from that between the local authorities and the Government of Tanganyika. [9] Recognizing that early protectorate officials had produced a pattern of growing distrust and clandestine change, Mitchell devised a plan for reform and reshaping the system between the Protectorate and Buganda governments. [10] He claimed that the relationship between the protectorate government and the Buganda indigenous government was one of a protected rather than indirect regime, and planned to replace the position of provincial commissioner of Buganda with a resident and remove officials from the central district, assuming that the kabaka would be obliged to follow the advice of the resident and his staff. [9] However, under the Uganda Agreement of 1900, the Kabaka was only required to respond to this advice if the Lukiiko resolutions were implemented. Relations between the Kabaka, the Protectorate government and its ministers deteriorated, and due to the governor`s limited power under the 1900 agreement to impose his council on Kabaka, the reorganization led to a steady decline in the influence that the Protectorate government could exert in Buganda. [9] Unlike the treaties of 1893 and 1894, the Uganda Convention of 1900 contained clear boundaries of the Kingdom of Uganda, a system of land ownership, and a fiscal policy. [3] Before the signing of the agreement, the entire country of Buganda belonged to Kabaka, hence the title of Sabataka. Officials of the Kingdom. Regent Stanislas Mugwanya (center) with other Buganda chiefs in the 1890s, during the reign of Kabaka Daudi Chwa II. Regents and chiefs benefited from the distribution of land under the Buganda Agreement of 1900, which rewarded them for their cooperation with the British.
