section::::agreement.









































the agreement was negotiated by alfred tucker, bishop of uganda, and signed by, among others, buganda's katikiro sir apolo kagwa, on the behalf of the kabaka (daudi chwa) who was at that time an infant, and sir harry johnston on the behalf of the british colonial government.
buganda agreement (1900)
in order to force a resolution to the deepening political crisis, the governor of uganda, sir andrew cohen, invoked the 1900 buganda agreement and demanded that the kabaka (mutesa ii) fall into line british government policy which favoured the continuation of a single, unitary, ugandan state. the kabaka refused. as a result, the british government withdrew its recognition of mutesa ii as buganda's native ruler under article 6 of the 1900 buganda agreement and forcibly deported mutesa to britain. news about mutesa's deportation severely shocked the baganda, leading to a constitutional crisis. cohen's preference was for a new kabaka to be installed immediately, but this proved impossible, necessitating a fuller negotiated outcome.
