In an effort to promote constitutional knowledge within our community, and on behalf of the Bamasaaba Cultural Institution, I wrote to the Uganda Law Reform Commission requesting support with translated versions of the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda into Lumasaba, as well as the Cultural Leaders Act, 2011 (also known as the Institution of Traditional or Cultural Leaders Act).
The Uganda Law Reform Commission is mandated by law to undertake such tasks. Special appreciation goes to its leadership for supplying us with over 500 books, including translated versions of the 1995 Constitution and the Local Council Courts Act in Lumasaba.
The following offices and individuals received copies of the translated Constitution and the Local Council Courts Act. However, like in Oliver Twist, we still request additional copies of the Cultural Leaders Act and the Constitution:
