Leadership, office bearers of the Central Civic Education Committee (CVEC or CCEC) since 1996. The acronym used in sources for the Central Civic Education Committee‟s is CCEC. As of 10 January 2008, the CCEC was initially headed by Daudi Mpanga who was the Minister for Research for the south central region of Buganda according to Uganda Link.1 On 1 September 2009 the Buganda Post reported that the committee was headed by Betty Nambooze Bakireke.2 She is commonly referred to as Betty Nambooze. Nambooze was Democratic Party spokeswoman.3 The aforementioned September 2009 Buganda Post article alleged that Nambooze had been kidnapped and tortured by the Central Government for three days. She had apparently been released due to international pressure and, according to the Buganda Kingdom‟s website, the CCEC had resumed its duties.4 In a November 2009 report, the Uganda Record states that Nambooze had subsequently been arrested, this time in connection with the September 2009 riots in Kampala.3 The CCEC was created by the Kabaka (King) of Buganda in late 2007 or early 2008 according to a 9 January 2008 article from The Monitor. The CCEC was set up with the aim to “sensitise” the people of Buganda region to proposed land reforms.5 The previously mentioned Buganda Post article provides some background on the CCEC: The committee, which was personally appointed by Ssabasajja Kabaka Muwenda Mutebi, is credited for awakening Baganda to the reality that Mr.

  • Land Politics and Conflict in Uganda: a Case Study of Kibaale District, 1996 to the Present Day
    7 Land Politics and Conflict in Uganda: A Case Study of Kibaale District, 1996 to the Present Day John Baligira Introduction This chapter examines how the interplay between politics and the competing claims for land rights has contributed to conflict in Kibaale district since 1996. It considers the case of Kibaale district as unique. First, as a result of the 1900 Buganda Agreement, 954 square miles of land (mailo land in Luganda language) which constituted 58 per cent of the total land in Buyaga and Bugangaizi counties of present Kibaale district was allocated by the British colonialists to chiefs and notables from Buganda. It is unique because there is no other district in Uganda, where most of the land is statutorily owned by people from outside that district. Second, people from elsewhere migrated massively to Kibaale district to the extent that they constitute about 50 per cent of the total population. No other district in Uganda has so far hosted new settlers constituting such a high percentage of its population.
