Imagine waking up to discover you've been erased from your own company.

Your shares are gone. Your name has disappeared as a director. New directors have been appointed. Bank mandates have changed.

There's only one problem...
You never signed a thing.

"The evidence... convincingly demonstrates that the Applicant did not attend the said meeting and that the Applicant's purported signature on the contested documents was fabricated."

That was the reality in Kanyesigye Asaph v Kamanya David Magaga & Others (2026).

The Applicant discovered that a special resolution had allegedly transferred his shares, removed him as a director and company secretary, and replaced him with another individual. But the evidence told a different story.

A forensic handwriting expert concluded that the signatures were forged. MTN call data showed that the Applicant was nowhere near the company's offices on the day the "meeting" allegedly took place. More damaging still, there were no notices, no minutes, no attendance records, and no proof that the statutory procedures under the Companies Act had been followed.

The Assistant Registrar did not merely condemn the irregularities he wiped the slate clean.

The forged share transfer, special resolutions, amended company forms, board resolutions, changes in shareholding, and even subsequent banking mandates were all expunged from the register for having been illegally endorsed or wrongfully obtained.

The lesson? Corporate governance is not theatre. You cannot forge signatures, skip statutory procedures, file documents at URSB, and hope legality will follow. A company register records the law it does not create it.

While still working at @chapterfourug, I handled countless cases against the former Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence, now the Directorate of Intelligence Security - my approach in dealing with them was different from that of many human rights lawyers. I explored administrative remedies and resorted to legal remedies only after I failed to resolve an issue. I knew a court-led remedy was a long, uncertain, and often heavily influenced route.

This approach meant I had numerous face-to-face interactions with the institution's leadership. There was no love lost in these interactions. They all called to my face an agent of foreigners & unpatriotic. I was unbothered and pursued accountability against their officers.

The last interaction was a case of a torture victim - tortured by Capt. Amis Ainebyonna at the behest of @AnitahAmong, the Speaker of Parliament then, & her husband @MosesMagogo. It also involved @CharlesTwiine, who then worked at @Parliament_Ug in some police investigative role.

I took the matter up with Brig. Rugumyo, the Deputy Commandant of CMI at the time. A series of engagements yielded worthless undertakings, and I escalated the issue to his boss, Maj. Gen. Birungi, & at some point involving @AndrewMwenda, a close friend of Birungi.

The matter was never resolved - at least in the manner I had envisioned. Let's say the client found a remedy, albeit a half remedy, and was content with what he finally got.

Throughout the process, the CMI officers derisively referred to their boss and ‘the cook’. I understand he was a chef in the army at some point. I had my suspicions about him, but I never knew that he took to cooking false terror alarms.

The once powerful Capt. Amis is in prolonged military detention ( I hope he gets a fair trial); the folks who unleashed him to do unspeakable things to fellow citizens may well end up in jail for corruption (I hope for torture and murder as well); the folks who looked away and allowed him to use CMI facilities are in jail, and the others are under house arrest.

Power is transient. Use it well so that when your tour of duty is over, you will not live
in regret or have a tumultuous ending.

I read that Microsoft reportedly identified suspicious activity associated with Stokes in October 2024 and referred the matter to law enforcement while he was still 17. According to public reporting, investigators later built a case using records from Microsoft and other online services.

The investigation has prompted discussion about how devices can be identified across multiple online accounts. Windows and online platforms generate and use various identifiers for functions such as diagnostics, security, device management, and account protection. Those identifiers can sometimes help companies recognize that the same device has accessed different services, even if the public IP address changes because of a VPN or travel.

According to reports, investigators correlated activity across multiple services using account records, timestamps, IP logs, and device-related information. The evidence reportedly included web activity, gaming history, Azure account activity, IP address history, and the use of tools such as Ngrok.

A VPN can obscure a device's public IP address, but it does not necessarily prevent online services from recognizing a device through other signals associated with that service or account. Publicly available court records do not establish that a single Windows-wide "Global Device Identifier (GDID)" exists or that such an identifier alone enabled investigators to track the suspect across platforms.

The World Bank has given Kenya more than 10 conditions before it can access the next round of loans.

Here are 10 of the main conditions explained in simple terms.

““This historic detention—marking the first time a former CMI chief has been imprisoned—stems from a high-level board of inquiry that uncovered systematic failures, including fabricated intelligence, misappropriation of military resources, and operational manipulation within the UPDF's intelligence apparatus.”

Ethiopia just earned $3 billion from coffee exports, though it is Africa's second-largest exporter behind Uganda, which reported $2.4 billion in April.
The reason for this earnings gap comes down to quality and bean type. Approximately 80% of Uganda's exports consist of lower-priced Robusta beans, which are easier to grow but fetch a lower price globally. Ethiopia, however, exports almost 100% premium Arabica coffee.
Because Ethiopia is the biological birthplace of Arabica, its beans are highly prized for their superior flavour, allowing them to command a massive price premium. Combined with recent quality reforms, Ethiopia makes far more money despite shipping a smaller physical volume of coffee. When will Uganda turn the tables?

World Bank warns: Uganda running out of jobs

By the end of 2025, Uganda faced an estimated jobs deficit of 1.64 million, while about 90% of the country’s workforce remained in the informal sector.

“Closing this gap is not just an economic priority; it is the defining development challenge of the next decade.”
