{UAH} The 1900 Uganda Agreement

"The section of the Agreement which dealt with the distribution of land were not complicated. Uncultivated land, forests and swamps were to be controlled by the Protectorate Government and these areas came to be known as Crown Land. The rest was to be shared between the Kabaka, members of his family, the Ministers, Saza and lesser chiefs and a thousand notables. The Lukiiko was to arrange for the division of this land among those who were due to receive it… The saza chiefs received both official land, which changed hands with the holder of the office, and private estates to which they were entitled as leaders in Buganda in 1900"(C. V. R. Bill. The Road to Independence).

Bataka and Bakopi were forgotten despite their efforts all the way to the Colonial Office in London to get something. Should this matter be raised in post-NRM regime or is it too late?
