The date 8th October 1962 is only significant in Uganda's history as the eve of independence day. Independence Day is 9th October 1962. On that day the country called Uganda (not Buganda) was granted independence by the British. On that day a nation called Uganda was born. Where then do you get the idea that Buganda was granted independenec on 8th Ocober 1962?
The symbols of independenec were the intruments of independence. These were handed to the then leader of Uganda, Milton Obote. The other symbol of independence was lowering the British flag and raising the Uganda one. The person who raised the Uganda flag was again Milton Obote.
As all this was happening, the Kabaka of Buganda was sitting in the audiance.
Yoga Adhola.
