History of Uganda 



the Central Provinces were transferred to the British 

 East Africa Protectorate. Colonel Sir J. H. Sadler 

 succeeded Sir H. Johnston as Commissioner in 

 1902, but in 1905 was transferred to East Africa; 

 his place was taken by Sir H. Hesketh Bell, who 

 became the first "Governor" of Uganda in 1906. 

 The seat of the British Administration is now at 

 Entebbe, where the Governor has his headquarters, 

 and the various districts are supervised by local 

 commissioners directly responsible to him, appointed 

 by the Colonial Office. The Administration have 

 also the assistance of the Lukiko or native council, 

 consisting of chiefs who number about eighty. 

 Order is maintained by a local force of police, and a 

 battalion of the King's African Rifles is in garrison 

 at Bombo for the protection of the Colony. 



A lasting peace under the continuous administra- 

 tion of the British Government has resulted in the 

 colony progressing with such rapid strides, that the 

 time is not far distant when it will be self-support- 

 ing, and probably able to dispense with the present 

 Parliamentary aid. 



Thus ends the story of Uganda's past history, 

 at the very dawn of a golden era of prosperity.
