#BreakingNews : Justice for Hon. Canon Mathew Rukikaire has finally prevailed.
In Mathew Rukikaire v Garuga Properties Ltd & Others (2026 UGRSB 39) (Consolidated Application No. 82542/18228/03111 of 2026), the Registrar reaffirmed that corporate governance is not governed by shareholding percentages, but by due process. 👍🏻
A shareholder holding just 0.45% successfully challenged the appointment of directors after the Registrar found there was no proof that notices of the Extraordinary General Meetings had ever been served. Simply listing a shareholder's name on a notice was held to be insufficient. If service cannot be proved, the meeting itself is vulnerable.
The consequence was far-reaching: the meetings were declared irregular, the resolutions appointing directors were held null and void ab initio, and the impugned filings were ordered to be expunged from the Companies Register.
Beyond the dispute itself, the ruling delivers three significant lessons for corporate practice:
• Minority shareholders matter. Even the smallest shareholder has enforceable participatory rights.
• Proof of service is indispensable. A notice drafted is not a notice served.
• The integrity of the Companies Register is a public interest issue. The Registrar confirmed that maintaining an accurate register is an independent statutory duty that exists even where related disputes are pending before the High Court.
This decision is a powerful reminder that in corporate law, procedural fairness is not a technicality; it is the foundation upon which valid corporate decisions stand. #CorporateGovernance Assistant Registrar ordered the removal of the disputed direct appointments & directed fresh board meetings in line with the law.
CONGRATULATIONS Mathew Rukikaire for standing your ground and wining

I am reminded of Matthew 27:39-40– And those who passed by derided him, wagging their heads and saying, “You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross.” It’s not the Pastors that heal. But, the Holy Spirit.
