{UAH} JINJA DISTRICT HEADQUARTERS.

JINJA DISTRICT HEADQUARTERS.

Built in the 1920s in Busoga Square, the Jinja District Headquarters are among the oldest continously used Hqs in the country. Formerly known as the Civil Registry Offices, they also once served as part of the residence of the then governors.

However, the district headquarters are due to be transferred to Buwenge where a new Hq is being built after Jinja Municpality was elevated to City status. In Ugandan administrative law, a city is the equivalent of a district.

In 2014, it was reported that the land housing the local government headquarters was sold to Bank of Uganda to expand the Jinja Currency Center for Shs 2.5 billion in a deal that would see the bank construct a new Hq in Buwenge. It's not clear whether this deal materialized and what its present status is.
