ABSTRACT
Advantage was taken of the Governor's presence in England during the early months of 1920 to conclude arrangements for a loan of £1,000,000 from the Imperial Treasury which would be devoted to undertakings of permanent value to the Protectorate. In order to obtain advice on this issue he invited Mr Eric Hussey, Chief Inspector of Schools in the Sudan, to visit the Protectorate and submit a report for his consideration. In 1918 the Protectorate Administration had found it necessary to emphasize to members of the Lukiiko that the 1900 Agreement had certainly not given them power to legislate. In 1920 it received instructions from the Protectorate Administration to repeal a law dealing with people who had failed to pay their poll tax, the Administration claiming that a new Protectorate law had made the old Buganda law redundant.
