From the now forgotten viral Map of Uganda on social media showing the name Buganda removed and replaced with North Central and South Central, the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) has clarified that Buganda has not been removed from the map.
Fred Ssenono, the Acting Deputy Executive Director of UBOS, says the bureau has a Memorandum of Understanding with Buganda Kingdom to ensure accurate statistics are gathered within the kingdom.
He says it is with this MOU that the bureau worked closely with the Kingdom to ensure it was a success in the recently concluded National Census.
Ssenono said that there is no plan to remove Buganda from the map, noting that Buganda is an established region that can only be altered by the Constitution.
He also said the map making rounds on social media is a creation of social media and from UBOS.
Israel Kazibwe Kitooke, the Minister of Information in the Buganda Kingdom, hailed UBOS for the clarification and assured the Kingdom that it can’t be removed from the map.
