#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 had taken a break from X for personal reasons, but I have been compelled to come back because of my duties as a citizen of Uganda. I speak not only on my behalf but also on behalf of all those fellow Ugandans who are not able to do so due to circumstances beyond their control. To continue remaining silent would be a gross betrayal of my hardworking late parents, who never denied me an opportunity for education as a girl child. Remaining silent would also be a betrayal of our forefathers and foremothers - (the deceased hardworking Ugandan citizens), whose sweat and taxes supported and paid for my Advanced Secondary Education at Trinity College Nabbingo, my three-year legal training at Makerere University, one year at the Law Development Centre, and also partially supported my Doctoral studies in Law for two years.
During the period I have not made any new posts on X, I have continued to follow the events going on in our dear country, Uganda, which have received national and international coverage. These events continue to depict and project the continued erosion of constitutionalism, the rule of law, respect for human rights, and equal and timely access to justice. I’m deeply saddened by all those who have chosen to take us back on the journey which we resolved and declared to be behind us in 1995 when we adopted our Constitution of Uganda. The Preamble to our Constitution reads as follows:
“WE THE PEOPLE OF UGANDA:
Recalling our history which has been characterised by political and constitutional instability;
Recognising our struggles against the forces of tyranny, oppression and exploitation;
Committed to building a better future by establishing a socio-economic and political order through a popular and durable national Constitution based on the principles of unity, peace, equality, democracy, freedom, social justice and progress;
Exercising our sovereign and inalienable right to determine the form of governance for our country, and having fully participated in the Constitution-making process;
Noting that a Constituent Assembly was established to represent us and to debate the Draft Constitution prepared by the Uganda Constitutional Commission and to adopt and enact a Constitution for Uganda;
Do hereby, in and through this Constituent Assembly, solemnly adopt, enact and give to ourselves and our posterity, this Constitution of the Republic of Uganda, this 22nd day of September, in the year 1995.
FOR GOD AND MY COUNTRY”
I would like to thank all my fellow citizens who continue to do the right thing and continue to uphold our Constitution, and I encourage you to continue in those footsteps. Let’s not give up on our dear country, Uganda.

#health256 Health is not an expense. It is an investment in sustainable development. A pathway that drives productivity, strengthens economies, and accelerates poverty reduction. Prioritising equitable access to quality healthcare is a fundamental pillar of national development.
Clear writing is a superpower.
Before writing, know:
• What you're trying to say
• Who you're writing for
• What action you want readers to take
Then:
• Cut jargon
• Use simple words
• Organize ideas logically
Good writing isn't about sounding smart.
It's about being understood.
My UNICEF mentorship reaffirmed that protecting children's rights requires stronger policies, effective enforcement, and shared responsibility. Prioritizing every child's best interests strengthens institutions, justice, and builds a more resilient future.

Charge against @miriamatembe before Grade 1 Magistrate in Luzira!
Evidence that free speech is being curtailed.
@JudiciaryUG a senior citizen was hunted & brought to court barely able to walk..for this charge?
#FreeMiriaMatembe#AddressTheNation
I had a sit down with @miriamatembe as she shared her thoughts on the journey of constitutionalism in UG last year. One of her submissions was persisting lawlessness in UG. She stood with victims of state impunity every single time.

Health awareness and sensitisation are key to empowering future generations to build and sustain healthy lives.
Health sensitisation goes beyond word of mouth it is the heartbeat of health education and the foundation for public participation in promoting healthier communities.
ID extends sincere gratitude to Their Excellencies, Diplomats, Representatives of Int'l Organizations, Civil Society, Youth leaders & the Emerging Women Leaders for making us achieve Uganda's Inaugural event Celebrating Women in Diplomacy.
Congrats to all the Award recipients
Uganda’s health progress depends on an informed and engaged citizenry. Prioritizing health civic education in schools and public spaces will empower citizens to understand their health rights and responsibilities, actively participate in nation building, hold leaders accountable.
Uganda opened its arms to 1.9M refugees, the 4th most in the world. But generosity has limits when the world doesn't match it. Families ration food. Kids miss school. They don't ask, "when will I go home" but ask "does anyone still see us?" See them. Pray. Give. Act.
