The
Buganda Kingdom Organization Structure
It
is the desire of the Kingdom in this modern era to more formally define its
organizational setup as a means of accomplishing its mission and goals by analyzing
and grouping its functions and determining how these groups of functions are
coordinated.
From
the past, the Kingdom has largely been setup in a quasi-informal undocumented
manner, albeit with clearly defined responsibilities, authority and hierarchy,
especially in the cultural and traditional dimensions.
However,
the deplorable status of the social welfare of the Kingdom’s subjects requires
it to more than ever before, directly and actively play an affirmative role in
the development of the community along with other formal structures on the
ground. For the Kingdom to play this role effectively and efficiently alongside
its traditional/cultural functions, it is imperative that it develops/evolves
an organizational structure suitable for the time and comprehensively
integrating its functions, taking into account other structures within its near
and distant operational environment.
The
Kingdom’s organizational structure encompasses the roles, responsibilities and
relationships, both formal and informal, among the units and individuals that
constitute the Kingdom’s administration. The structure takes into account the
overall mission, hierarchy, responsibilities, and duties specific to the
Kingdom’s cultural/traditional tenets and the community development drive. One
radical change that has occurred since the enactment of the 1995 Constitution
is the role of the Great Lukiiko. While prior to 1997 the Lukiiko played a
legislative role, today, its role is largely advisory. The diagram below
highlights the organizational structure of the Kingdom, integrating its
cultural/traditional, administrative and developmental dimensions in a
harmonious and flexible manner.
