NSTITUTIONS - Royal Warrant Holder Society


Royal Warrants are a prestigious mark of recognition to those who are regular suppliers of goods and services to the Royal Household of the Kingdom Bunyoro-Kitara. The decision to award Royal Warrants is only made by HM Omukama Rukirabasaija Agutamba Solomon Gafabusa Iguru I., the Head of the Royal House of Bunyoro-Kitara. All the details regarding the use of the Royal Warrant are regulated by separate rules and contracts.

Royal Warrants are regulated by Contract and valid for a year, which may be extended or terminated by both sides. Termination can occur at any time if certain conditions are not met.

The tradition of Royal Warrants exists in all European Monarchies. In the Kingdom Bunyoro-Kitara Royal Warrants were given for the first time during the reign of HM Omukama Rukirabasaija Agutamba Solomon Gafabusa Iguru I..

Three members of the Royal Family of Bunyoro-Kitara currently grant Warrants, they are known as the Grantors. They are:

  • HM Omukama Rukirabasaija Agutamba Solomon Gafabusa Iguru I.
  • HM Omugo Margaret Adyeri Karunga
  • HRH Crown Prince David Rukidi Mpuga

The Board of the Royal Warrant Holder Society advises the Grantors but each Grantor makes the final decision to grant a Warrant. A business may only receive one Warrant from a Grantor. It’s also possible that a Royal Warrant Holder hold warrants from more than one Grantor.
