Comment on Bazarrabusa’s death: accident or assassination? by Ronald Cooper

I was with Timothy Bazarrabusa at Lawyers School OF agriculture near Crief, Perthshire, Scotland in 1950, we were together for almost a year. We enjoyed each others company and I was fasinated with all the information he could give me about Uganda he was a delightful and very astute person. When I left Scotland to emigrate to the USA in 1963, I saw his name in the papers as the Uganda Cosolate in London. The only regret I have is that I took far too long to try to get intouch witth him. He was a man among men. Sincerely, Ronald Cooper.

I found the introduction to your BazBlog exciting start. We who are associated with the name of Timothy Bazarrabusa, are extremely grateful for your tribute to him. I want to thank you for your commitment to this project, and original contribution to the studies of Uganda’s social and cultural histories. Thanks also for introducing me to this new mode of research. I also appreciate the intellectual passion that you bring to this project, because this alone, may encourage students in Uganda to embark on similar research. So many prominent Ugandan intellectuals and prominent figures deserve this scholarly documentation. I also found the hyperlink footnotes particularly useful. I look forward to your future additions to BazBlog.

The circumstances of Bazarrabusa’s death continue to trouble the early history of Uganda’s independence. As High Commissioner at the Court of St. James, Bazarrabusa was the country’s senior diplomat. It is reported by some (with what reliability, I cannot confirm) that he had been recalled from London to attend a cabinet-level consideration of the current crisis; that at the meeting in Entebbe, Obote had mooted–if not proposed–the dissolution of the kingdoms; that Bazarrabusa had firmly opposed such an action; and that, on the way back from Entebbe, driving alone in his small car, he met with a never-explained single-vehicle accident somewhere in central Kampala. The kingdoms were shortly thereafter dissolved.
