The Uganda Bureau of Statistics met with leaders from the Buganda Kingdom about a map problem. People became angry when they saw an official map that completely left out Buganda. The viral map named every region of Uganda except Buganda. Instead, it split Buganda territory into two areas called North Central and South Central.

Dr. Vincent Fred Ssenono led the UBOS team to Bulange Mengo on Friday. They talked with Israel Kazibwe Kitooke, the Information Minister for the Buganda Kingdom. UBOS explained that troublemakers created the incorrect map to harm relations between them and Buganda. They stressed that Buganda exists as a region recognized by the constitution.

UBOS promised to work closely with Buganda and other cultural groups going forward. They pointed to their many reports that correctly show Buganda, including the final Uganda Census from December 2024. Kitooke thanked UBOS for clearing up the map confusion. He mentioned the recent Census Report that properly includes Buganda as a region.

Kitooke asked everyone from Buganda to stay peaceful since UBOS had fixed the errors. The meeting helped settle concerns about how maps represent the historic kingdom. Both sides expressed commitment to accurate information about regional boundaries. The discussion helped repair the trust damaged by the misleading map.
