The corporate veil protects businesses, but it is not a shield for fraud. When a company becomes a “shell,” the law allows courts to look beyond the name and hold the real actors accountable.
In this article, we break down when Ugandan courts can lift the corporate veil.⚖️

While in Narok yesterday, as Greens we called out the systematic weakening of environmental protection under this regime.
●Lifting the logging ban in Mau Forest.
●Cutting down indigenous trees in Karura.
●Hiving off 99 acres of Nairobi National Park.
This is a pattern of the blantant disregard of our ecosystems.

Environmental protection is envisioned in the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. It must be upheld.

Listen to the @UGMParty Co-SG @kattoloo break it down below.

Free LPG is a welcome move to cut deforestation and protect forests. But real impact depends on affordable refills, sustained use, and tracking forest outcomes. Clean cooking must be treated as climate policy, not a one-off giveaway. #ClimateAction

Absolutely true. Simplicity is not a lack of skill. It is the highest proof of it. The real craft is taking complex ideas and making them easy for anyone to understand.

The ICC has finally released its policy on environmental damage. Big step. I still wish it leaned more toward real remedies than pure compensation, but Art 74 is a win: reparations must repair the environment and support affected communities. https://t.co/SOPKmCc3id

A 26-year career was burnt to ashes in minutes by news headlines born out of procedural lapses in a termination process. Rebuilding a name takes far longer. Even public apologies once a month for six months can’t undo that damage. Reputation is real wealth — not easily restored.

Courts are catching up with how we actually do business today. That judgment shows that a “written contract” isn’t just paper anymore. Chats, emails, and app messages can stitch together a binding deal. Digital deals are real deals.

Two kids knocked on my door offering to rake my entire yard for $10 total—and what I did next changed how they'll see hard work forever.
It was a Saturday afternoon when I heard the doorbell. Two boys, probably around 11 or 12, stood on my porch holding rakes that looked almost too big for them. The taller one cleared his throat nervously: "Excuse me, sir. Would you like us to rake your yard? We'll do the whole thing for ten dollars."

I looked past them at my lawn. Leaves everywhere. It was going to be at least two hours of work, maybe three.
"Ten dollars each?" I asked.
They glanced at each other. The shorter one shook his head. "No sir. Ten dollars total. We'll split it."

Five dollars each. For hours of hard labor.
I could have said yes. I could have gotten my entire yard raked for pocket change and called it a teaching moment about negotiation. But something about the way they stood there—hopeful, polite, willing to work—reminded me of myself at that age. Hustling. Trying. Just wanting a chance.

"Alright," I said. "You've got a deal. Get started."
For the next two and a half hours, I watched those kids work. They didn't cut corners. They didn't complain. They raked every section, bagged the leaves, and even swept off my driveway without being asked. When they finally knocked to let me know they were done, they were sweating, exhausted, and smiling.
I walked out with my wallet. "You boys did incredible work," I said, handing them four twenty-dollar bills. "Here's your payment."
The taller one's eyes went wide. "Sir, we said ten—"

"I know what you said. But I also know what two hours of quality work is worth. You earned every dollar of this."
They stared at the money like they couldn't believe it was real. Then the shorter one looked up at me and said quietly, "Thank you. Really. Thank you."
As they walked away, I heard them talking excitedly about what they'd spend it on. And I realized something: we talk a lot about teaching kids the value of hard work, but we don't always show them that hard work actually gets valued.
Those boys didn't ask for a handout. They offered a service. They showed up. They delivered. And in a world that sometimes feels like it punishes effort and rewards shortcuts, I wanted them to walk away knowing that good work doesn't go unnoticed.
If you work hard, if you show up with integrity, if you give your best even when nobody's watching—good people will see it. And they'll bless you for it.
That's not just a lesson for kids. That's a lesson for all of us.

Kenya’s High #court has flipped the table. Women must return dowry after divorce, and alimony is off the table. Is this a step too far, or it's about fairness. Emotions might flare on this one. #Divorced

. @Lukowoyesigyire "The Police at Kira Division is investigating an incident of aggravated torture that occurred on the night of 27th December 2024, at around 0100 hours, in Kikoko Zone, Namataba Cell, Kirinya Ward, Kira Municipality, Wakiso District.

The victim, a 4-year-old girl identified as Tumwekwase Claire, was allegedly tortured by the suspect, Tumuhirwe Precious, a 35-year-old female. The suspect, employed as a housemaid, fled the scene following the incident but has since been apprehended in Kabale District and is currently detained at Kabale Central Police Station. Arrangements are underway to transport her to Kira Division in Kira Municipality .

The victim is currently receiving medical treatment at Nsambya Hospital.
Preliminary findings indicate that the victim’s father, Mr. Mwesigwa Michael, a 35-year-old resident of Kikonko-Kirinya, has been the primary caregiver for his children following a separation with the children's mother two years ago. The suspect, who had been employed as a housemaid for four years, was brought in through a recommendation from mutual acquaintances in Kabale District.

Investigations are ongoing , further inquiries into the circumstances surrounding the incident are underway.

The Uganda Police Force condemns all forms of violence, particularly against children, and remains committed to ensuring justice is served. We urge the public to report any suspected cases of abuse to the nearest police station.

Forget Hollywood’s Prison Break! In Uganda, 14 suspects escaped by simply removing bricks from a police station wall in Rubanda. No blueprints or tattoos needed—just a lesson in poor infrastructure and security gaps. Who needs Michael Scofield? #Uganda
