Summary
Maragoli people have since the 1990s sought for inclusion in the Constitution through petitions to Parliament, ministers, ministries and President Museveni in vain.

After decades of living in the shadows of a country they have known as their home, the Maragoli people, a minority group, will soon be recognised among the 65 indigenous Ugandan communities in the proposed amendment of Uganda’s 1995 Constitution.
The actual number of Maragoli in Uganda is not readily available rather than being considered under ‘others’ in the two most recent Ugandan censuses, according to Minority Rights Group International (MGR).
