Geographical Description.—The territories comprising the Uganda Protectorate lie between Belgian Congo, the Anglo- Egyptian Sudan, Kenya, and the country known until recently as German East Africa (now Tanganyika Territory). The Protectorate extends from one degree of south latitude to the northern limits of the navigable waters of the Victoria Nile at Nimule. It is flanked on the east by the natural boundaries of Lake Rudolf, the river Turkwel, Mount Elgon (14,200 ft.), and the Sio river, running into the north-eastern waters of Lake Victoria, whilst the outstanding features on the western side are the Nile Watershed, Lake Albert, the river Semliki, the Ruwenzori Range (16,794 ft.), and Lake Edward. -
Hydro-Power and the Promise of Modernity and Development in Ghana: Comparing the Akosombo and Bui Dam Projects
HYDRO-POWER AND THE PROMISE OF MODERNITY AND DEVELOPMENT IN GHANA: COMPARING THE AKOSOMBO AND BUI DAM PROJECTS Stephan F. Miescher, University of California, Santa Barbara & Dzodzi Tsikata, University of Ghana n 2007, as Ghanaians were suffering another electricity crisis with frequent power outages, President J. A. Kufuor celebrated I in a festive mode the sod cutting for the country’s third large hydro-electric dam at Bui across the Black Volta in the Brong Ahafo Region.1 The new 400 megawatt (MW) power project promises to guarantee Ghana’s electricity supply and to develop neglected parts of the north. The Bui Dam had been planned since the 1920s as part of the original Volta River Project: harnessing the river by producing ample electricity for processing the country’s bauxite. In the early 1960s, when President Kwame Nkrumah began to implement the Volta River Project by building the Akosombo Dam, Bui was supposed to follow as part of a grand plan for the industrialization and modernization of Ghana and Africa. Since the 1980s, periodic electricity crises due to irregular rainfall have undermined Ghana’s reliance on Akosombo. By the turn of the century, these crises had created a sense of urgency to realize the Bui project in spite of an increasing international critique of large dams. Although there is more than a forty-year gap between the 1 See press reporting in Daily Mail, 24 August 2007, and the Ghanaian Chroni- cle, 27 August 2007. The sod cutting ceremony, analogous to a grass-cutting or ribbon-cutting event, symbolically marks the beginning of construction for a major infrastructure project. -

Further exploration was directed to the discovery of the sources of the Nile. Speke first saw the Victoria Nyanza in 1858, and discovered its outlet at the Ripon Falls in 1863. Later in the same year Samuel Baker dis covered the Albert Nyanza, and in 1888 Count Teleki von Szek discovered Lake Rudolf. In 1887 Seyyid Bargash, the Sultan of Zanzibar, granted a concession on the mainland between the Umba and Tana Rivers to the British East African Association which was incorporated under Royal Charter as the Imperial British East Africa Company in the following year. The early activities of the British East Africa Company were concentrated mainly on the coast. In 1880 a considerable caravan was despatched to explore the interior under F. J. Jackson, who established a station at Machakos, and proceeded by way of Kikuyu, Naivasha, and Sotik to Mumias. -

The presence of white settlers upon the better agricultu:ral lands had been bolstered by an attitude of racial and economic superiority to the African population. The African populations were the vic tims of the alienation of this land and the increasing influ ence of European immigrants. Finally, the British Colonial Office tried to create a situation conducive to cohabitation by both races. Explicit in the dual policy in Kenya were two doctrines : the paramountcy of African interests and the en couragement of economic development of Kenya . -

Archives of Uganda 1 By PATRICK T. ENGLISH Downloaded from http://meridian.allenpress.com/american-archivist/article-pdf/18/3/225/2743571/aarc_18_3_r255527q36w10h79.pdf by guest on 02 October 2021 Baltimore, Maryland HE Uganda Protectorate came into being under the British Foreign Office with the declaration by the British Government, Tdated June 18, 1894, of a protectorate over the kingdom of Bu- ganda, the region immediately northwest of Lake Victoria in east central Africa. This protectorate was gradually extended over neighboring states and tribes, and its administration was trans- ferred to the Colonial Office as of April 1, 1905. European explorations of the region began in 1862, with the expedition of Speke and Grant from Zanzibar to the hitherto unknown feudal kingdom of Buganda (or Uganda, as Speke's Swahili interpreters called it). In 1875 Henry M. Stanley, in Buganda, decided it was a ripe field for evangelization and sent a letter to the London Daily Telegraph, urging the coming of mis- sionaries. From this followed the Christianizing of the native tribes (by both Protestant and Catholic missions), missionary pressure in England which forced the government to declare the protector- ate, and the thwarting of German and Belgian plans to annex the region and of Arab plans to establish there a Moslem dominion. The building of the railway from Mombasa to Lake Victoria pro- vided communication between Uganda and Britain's sea empire and led to the establishment, for the safety of the railway, of the Brit- ish East Africa Protectorate, now Kenya. By an agreement of 1880, East Africa was divided into British and German spheres. -
