This may be the most articulate response I’ve ever heard to this question.

[Nicholas Opiyo (Pronouns He/Him) @nickopiyo]

A law student or any other person in Uganda interested in learning the art of cross-examination should watch counsel Fredrick Mpanga’s cross-examination of a state attorney - prepared, calm, pestering, and never asking a question whose answer he did not know.

Each question set sctrap ontovwhouc the poor attorney walked in. Whether the trial judge in the conduct of the case will see this is a matter in which the jury is still out there, and there are many doubters

Two of my favourite cross-examinations as a law student both came from AF Mpanga Advocates.

In Kasangati Court, a police officer testified he had intercepted Besigye walking unlawfully.

He was asked to demonstrate to Court how a person walking lawfully walks. He matched (1)

Kabushenga’s Thoughts

Doing Fulfilling Things

Today, I took a group of people to my coffee farm. It was eclectic mix of those who want to follow in the footsteps of my farming journey and others who simply wanted a weekend out on a farm. I had stopped doing this six years ago. Then I gave a talk on coffee to a Business Fireside Chat at the Bight of Benin Restaurant in Kampala last February. By the end of it, there was a push for me to do this again. I agreed. And so it happened. What we do on these tours is to explain the complexities of farming coffee. I always want to make sure that by the end of it all, there is no illusion about the business of growing coffee.

Part of the problem is the positive financial performance of the coffee sector . The perception now is that there is a lot of assured quick and big money to be made. This is false. And when I respond to the curious, I make a point to disabuse them of this misconception. The other way I do this is by giving my visitors a real experience of some the work we do on the fair. So they understand what it actually takes to grow coffee and take it to market. On this occasion I took them through the tedium of picking ripe coffee cherries. After some walking over the whole morning, they only managed a harvest of 6 kgs. They were tired. My point was made. The work of growing coffee to the point where it can be sold, is tough.

Eleven years ago this week, I planted the first coffee seedling at @RugyeyoFarmLtd. Over the years I have understood that while coffee farming is an exacting undertaking, it is the one segment of the value chain where most Ugandans can participate for financial return. It is the only opportunity open to us as local Ugandans to generate and capture value. The other segments have prohibitively high financial barriers to entry. Even where public investment is made like Tanzania did in secondary processing of ready to drink coffee, it has only benefitted factory owners or state employees who run the government outfit. Farmer incomes remain unchanged, in fact they bring their coffee green beans for sale in the lucrative market of Uganda. In Uganda, the farmer pockets 85% of the international market price. The way to improve farmer turnover is public investment in farmer ability to get hogs yields and improve quality. This higher turnover will translate into taxable income for the Treasury. Margins can be better if some of the costs like fertilizer and water can be subsidized. This will pay for itself through ability to employ more people.

You would think these things would be obvious. But there is the old adage about the prevalence of common sense. So people like me will do what we can. To grow our coffee and mentor those who have the courage to try this. It is the perfect celebration and payback for being a part of this fulfilling coffee farming journey

My thoughts!?

A Ugandan co-invests into the Arena Mall. The project faces years of delays, road diversions, COVID, the works. He puts in a shareholder loan of USD 400,000. When it’s time to recover it, courts say go arbitrate

[JBYAMUKAMA & CO. ADVOCATES @JByamAdvocates]

Report, Freeze, But Don’t Reverse: Hon Justice Stephen Mubiru’s Judgement on Money Laundering.

Case law: Fabrice Brad Rulinda v Stanbic Bank Limited: Civil Suit No. 0235 of 2021.

Key Lessons:

1. REPORT, DON'T JUST REVERSE
Banks have a legal duty to report suspicious transactions to the Financial Intelligence Authority within 48 hours. But they CANNOT simply reverse a credit and return money to the sender without customer consent or court order, that's unlawful debiting.

2. FREEZING IS ALLOWED (TEMPORARILY)
When suspicion arises, banks can freeze accounts while investigating. This power is "implied" into every banking contract, necessary to comply with anti-money laundering laws.

3. WILFUL BLINDNESS = KNOWLEDGE
If a customer deliberately avoids knowing the source of suspicious funds ("I wasn't interested"), the law treats this as actual knowledge of money laundering.

4. PUBLIC POLICY TRUMPS CONTRACTS
Courts won't enforce contracts involving illegal activity (like funding M23 rebels). The "ex turpi causa" doctrine means dirty money gets no legal protection.

The case was dismissed and the Plaintiff ordered to pay costs of the suit to the Bank.
