Sir Keith Hancock's Committee during their visit to the Uganda Protectorate on 14th September 1954

Sir Keith Hancock, Director of the Institute of Commonwealth Studies at London University, at the invitation of the Governor of Uganda (1952-57), Sir Andrew Cohen, visited the Protectorate to consult with representatives of the Baganda and with the Protectorate Government on various constitutional questions relating to Buganda.

For three months, from the 24th June to the 17th September, Sir Keith Hancock presided over discussions first alone with the Constitutional Committee appointed by the Buganda Lukiko, and later with the Committee and the Governor together. This Conference took place at Namirembe, near Kampala, and resulted in complete agreement. The Conference recommended, among other things, that the Kingdom of Buganda, under the Kabaka's government, should continue to be an integral part of the Protectorate; that the conduct of public affairs in Buganda should be in the hands of Ministers; among other things.
