Muloki's achievements included programs for youth, the elderly, and the poor and the education of girls. Although the Royal Chiefs of Busoga at first elected Edward Columbus Wambuzi, Muloki's son, as Kyabazinga of Busoga, the election was contested due to lack of quorum (at least eight chiefs) and thus electing later Gabula Nadiope IV with ten out of eleven chiefs and was crowned on 13 September 2014.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History"><span class="anchor" id="History_of_Busoga"></span>History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Busoga&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Early_contact_with_European_explorers">Early contact with European explorers</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Busoga&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Early contact with European explorers"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951" /><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main articles: <a href="/wiki/Early_history_of_Uganda" title="Early history of Uganda">Early history of Uganda</a> and <a href="/wiki/Protectorate_of_Uganda" title="Protectorate of Uganda">Protectorate of Uganda</a></div> <p>Busoga's written history began in 1862.

However, between 1898–99 and 1900–01 the first cases of <a href="/wiki/African_trypanosomiasis" title="African trypanosomiasis">sleeping sickness</a> were reported. </p><p>In 1906, orders were issued to evacuate the region. Despite attempts to clear the area, the epidemic continued until 1910. As a result, most of the densely populated parts of Busoga (with an original population of over 200,000) were depopulated within ten years. Lubas Palace at Bukaleba and the European fruit mission collapsed, and survivors were relocated to other parts of Busoga. Southern Busoga, about one-third of the kingdom's area, was depopulated by 1910. During the 1920s and 1930s, some evacuees who survived the epidemic began to return to their original land. In 1940 a new outbreak appeared in the area, and only in 1956 did resettlement (promoted by the government) begin again.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The result of the epidemic was that southern Busoga, its most densely populated area, was virtually uninhabited.

Famines also triggered substantial population movements. Parts of northeastern Busoga and the adjacent Bukandi district (across the Mpologoma River) experienced famines in 1898–1900, 1907, 1908, 1917, 1918 and 1944. Populations in these areas shrank; many people were killed by the famines, and survivors moved to other areas for safety. </p><p>The effects of these movements were apparent in the growth in population of central and <a href="/wiki/Peri-urban" class="mw-redirect" title="Peri-urban">peri-urban</a> Busoga.

The federation was governed by a <a href="/wiki/Lukiiko" title="Lukiiko">Lukiiko</a>. </p><p>Although Busoga is called a "kingdom", it did not have a central ruler before 1906, unlike its western neighbor Buganda. In 1906, a central administrator—later a King—was installed at the behest of the British. Before this, the Basoga were organized in semi-autonomous <a href="/wiki/Chiefdoms" class="mw-redirect" title="Chiefdoms">chiefdoms</a> influenced by Bunyoro and, later, Buganda. Some of the chiefs were appointed by the Kabaka, and, before the ascendancy of Buganda as the region’s dominant power, by the Omukama of Bunyoro. </p><p>Busoga's first native King was the chief of <a href="/wiki/Bugabula" title="Bugabula">Bugabula</a>, <a href="/wiki/Yosia_Nadiope" class="mw-redirect" title="Yosia Nadiope">Yosia Nadiope</a>. Nadiope died in 1913 and was, in 1919, succeeded by the chief of <a href="/wiki/Bulamogi" title="Bulamogi">Bulamogi</a>, Ezekiel Tenywa Wako, who had both support of the colonialist British support and an administrative background, in addition to his being educated at the prestigious Kings' College Budo. Gideon Obodha of <a href="/wiki/Kigulu" title="Kigulu">Kigulu</a> (another contender for the post) was unfamiliar with the British system, and William Wilberforce Nadiope Kadhumbula of Bugabula was an infant whose regent (Mwami Mutekanga) was ineligible as a <i>mukoopi</i> (a commoner). In 1918-19, the title of Isebantu Kyabazinga was created and Wako took the throne. In 1925 Wako became a member of the Uganda Kings Council, consisting of the Kyabazinga of Busoga, the <a href="/wiki/Kabaka_of_Buganda" title="Kabaka of Buganda">Kabaka of Buganda</a>, the Omukamas of <a href="/wiki/Omukama_of_Bunyoro" title="Omukama of Bunyoro">Bunyoro</a> and <a href="/wiki/Omukama_of_Toro" class="mw-redirect" title="Omukama of Toro">Toro</a> and the Omugabe of Ankole. </p><p>On 11 February 1939 Owekitibwa Ezekerial Tenywa Wako, father of the last Kyabazinga of Busoga Henry Wako Muloki and the Zibondo of Bulamogi, was installed as the first Kyabazinga of Busoga (a title he held until his 1949 retirement). By Wako's retirement, the Lukiiko had expanded to include elected representatives (two from each of Busoga's 55 sub-counties). </p><p>When Wako retired the Busoga Lukiiko resolved that the Kyabazinga should be elected from the five lineages of Baise Ngobi (Ababiito), hereditary rulers traditionally believed to have been the five sons of the Omukama of Bunyoro who migrated to Busoga from Bunyoro. This method of election was used for subsequent elections, beginning in 1949 when Owekitibwa Chief William Wilberforce Nadiope Kadhumbula of Bugabula was elected. He served for two terms of three years each, followed by Henry Wako Muloki (who also served two terms). In 1957, the title <a href="/wiki/Inhebantu_of_Busoga" title="Inhebantu of Busoga">Inhebantu of Busoga</a> was introduced for the wife of the Kyabazinga (or Isebantu).<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>When monarchies were abolished in 1966, the Kyabazinga was dethroned. <a href="/wiki/Idi_Amin" title="Idi Amin">Idi Amin</a> expelled the Asians from Uganda in 1972, and Jinja suffered socially and economically. The government of Yoweri Museveni has tried to encourage them to return.

On 11 February, Henry Wako Muloki was reinstated as Kyabazinga according to Kisogan tradition.
