The state house of Uganda:
In Uganda, State House refers to the official residence(s) of the President of Uganda. The main State House is located at Entebbe, 40 km south of Kampala, the capital of Uganda. The second State House is at Nakasero in Kampala.
President’s Office:
The President of Uganda is recognized as the Head of the State as well as head of the government under the framework of a presidential republic.
They say that; the President is elected by popular vote to a five-year term, but according to the way the presidential office has been run in Uganda, every president who has ruled Uganda came in the office by the force of the gun.
The office of the President or executive in Uganda was originally instituted in 1962 by British as colonial rulers of the state.
The position of the President of Uganda was first held by Sir Frederick Edward Muteesa II from 1962 to 1966.
At this point of time most of the powers to make major decisions were invested with the Prime Minister of the State. However, after Milton Obote assumed the office of the President of Uganda in 1966, the Ugandan constitution was suspended and he became both the president and prime minister of the state.
This change transformed office of the President of Uganda into the most powerful position in the state.
