Ssekabaka Muteesa II- Desecration of My Kingdom, pg. 127-128:

'The wind of change had started to blow in West Africa and there was no doubt now that Uganda would become independent... We [Buganda] had struggled long and hard to retain out integrity during the life of the Protectorate Government. Now the situation was to be different and we looked ahead to see if there were different dangers. Where would we stand in an independent Uganda?

Buganda's relationship with Uganda had never been important before. We had dealings with the British and we had friendly neighbours...the airport, the University and the main cities were on our land...we were far the largest and most forward unit in Uganda...It was not true that, if we were granted federal status, everyone else must get it also. We never had at any time a wish to expand. Nor did it make sense to suggest that I would become Kabaka of all Uganda... We wished to hold what we had, to continue to govern ourselves, as we were demonstrably capable of doing."
