NEW YORK LAW SCHOOL JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL AND COMPARATIVE LAW Volume 5 Number 1 1983 AUTOCHTHONY: THE DEVELOPMENT OF LAW IN UGANDA* FRANCIS M. SSEKANDI** * This is the text of an address delivered at the Law Development Centre in Kampala, Uganda in July 1979, barely three months after the Ugandan Liberation Forces, composed of exiles and led by the Tanzania Defence Forces, booted Idi Amin out of Uganda. An interim government led by Yusufu Lule had assumed office and there was a lively debate in the air on the future of the Ugandan Constitution. Historically, Uganda was ruled by the British as a Protectorate, from 1890 with a measure of internal autonomy for the inhabitants, through a series of "treaties" with the kings of the territories from which Uganda was carved. Thus, on attainment of independence in 1962, the country emerged as a federation of its constituent parts.

Where it appears that any provision of the Order in Council is spent or is not likely to be the subject of more than an occasional reference in the future, the provision in question has been printed in italics. This has been done merely for convenience. These provisions have not been repealed, and remain part of the Order. It has not been possible to include in this booklet Schedules 1 to 6 of the Constitution. For these Schedules, which contain the Constitution of Buganda, the special provisions for the other Federal States and the procedure for the election of members of the National Assembly from Buganda by the Lukiiko, it will still be necessary to refer to the 1962 edition of the Constitutional Instruments.
