The country with its divisions. Busoga, which to-day forms part of the Eastern Province of the Uganda Protectorate, has from time immemorial been tributary to one or other of the surrounding nations. For many years the Baganda have governed the whole of Busoga, but formerly the country was divided among and governed by three nations: the Northwestern District was governed by the Banyoro, the Central District was under the rule of the Bateso chiefs, while the Southern District was governed by the Baganda. The whole area of Busoga is small: it falls between the equator and the first degree north of it, and its longitude lies between 33 and 34 degrees east of Greenwich.

The North-western District. The North-western District is commonly called Nadiope's country or Kamuli after the chief's capital, and has had a young chief governing it for some years. He has recently died and the district is now under the management of regents until the young son of Nadiope shall be old enough to take control under the British Resident. The original chief of this country is said to have been a man named Kitembo to whom the Banyoro gave the country. The people claim, through this man, affinity with the Banyoro royal family, for they say Kitembo was a Munyoro prince.
