ABSTRACT
The three British mainland territories of East Africa had a problem which West Africa on the whole escaped; the multiracial problem. It was most serious in Kenya, where most of the commerce was in Asian hands and all the productive farms were owned by Europeans—though this was the result of superior skill and capital, not of better soil. The problem existed to a less degree in Uganda and Tanganyika, where the European and Asian minorities were smaller. In 1961 elections were held for the newly enlarged legislative council. The Kabaka and the Lukiko disapproved of this constitutional advance. They held that by the old Agreement, it was for the Kabaka, and no one else, to express the views of Buganda to the British. With the help of grants under the Colonial Development and Welfare Act, the Government made a gallant effort to improve African education.
