Answer 1

The Bagungu's customary law practices were officially codified in Ugandan law in 1955 with the enactment of the **Customary Tenants Statute**. This statute recognized and provided for the practices of various ethnic groups in Uganda, including the Bagungu, relating to land tenure and usage. This move was part of a broader effort to formalize customary laws within the legal framework of Uganda.
