@Parliament_Ug It is quite concerning that @LDC_Uganda is opting for a virtual graduation citing Ebola, despite normal activity across the country. This shift raises fairness concerns for students who paid UGX 400,000 expecting a physical ceremony.

Fellow Ugandans, especially the Bazzukulu. Habaari. Greetings to all of you.

Of recent, I have noticed a lot of orwaari (noise, kelele), regarding the Sovereignty Bill. Which Sovereignty Bill is the rwaari about? The one I initiated in the Cabinet or another one? The Bill will stop FDIs (Foreign Direct Investments), support for religious bodies from abroad, Remittances from Ugandans working abroad, etc., etc. Really!! That is not the Bill I initiated.

Below is clarification on what I initiated.

If you’re a corporate lawyer or you engage in corporate litigation, you need to read the case of F.C.M.B. v. Abdul Gafaru & Co. Ltd. (2026) 6 NWLR (Pt. 2038) 179.

In this case, the Supreme Court held that although a registered company upon incorporation becomes a legal entity and acquires a separate and distinct personalty from its owners, such company cannot claim damages for injured feelings and emotional distress like a natural human being. The implication is that when seeking damages on behalf of a company, you restrict it to pecuniary or proprietary damages but not anything that has to do with feelings and emotions.

The court held as follows:

“Upon incorporation, a company becomes a separate and distinct legal entity, different from its shareholders, who are its owners and from its directors who are its managers. Such a company enjoys perpetual succession and continues to exist notwithstanding any changes in its shareholders or
management. As a legal person, it can own property, enter contracts and conduct business in its own name. The Directors of the company are its human
managers but they are distinct and separate from the personality of the company. The respondents who were the plaintiffs, being registered companies are not natural persons with body, mind, feelings or emotions. Therefore, they cannot suffer pain,
humiliations, trauma or emotional distress in the human sense. They, as companies can claim other pecuniary or proprietary damages but not anything that has to do with feelings and emotions. This is apt because they are artificial personalities without
flesh, blood and soul.”

The above position is logical considering the fact a company is an artificial entity without flesh, blood and soul. In fact, this remains the law until set aside.

Learned colleagues, just for academic purpose, if a company has been given rights of a natural human being and it subsequently acts through its officers and directors, why can’t the same company, “through its directors and officers” claim emotional damages? Kindly share your opinion on this.

Thank you.

.@cobbo3 do you remember the phrase from the Clinton 92 campaign for the US Presidency that sunk George H. W? Why the architects & champions of this did not seek counsel of those who know is mind boggling. This embarrassment that the #SovereigntyBill has become could have been avoided well in advance🤷🏿‍♂️

[Bank of Uganda @BOU_Official]

"Chairman, a country without reserves is not sovereign. The potential of this Bill to destabilize Uganda’s balance of payments is our primary concern as a central bank. For example, last financial year the overall balance of payment surplus was USD 1.5 billion. That’s how we were able to increase our reserve coverage by USD 1.5 billion. Today as we speak our reserves are close to USD 6 billion. Why? Because these inflows have been coming in. The moment you tamper with these inflows here, we risk running down our reserves, and that is economic disaster for a country.” Governor Atingi-Ego on the Protection of Sovereignty Bill 2026 in an appearance before Parliament today.

UPDATE: Authorities have arrested over 200 foreign nationals in operations targeting illegal immigration and unlicensed business activity, according to Ministry of Internal Affairs spokesperson Simon Mundeyi. Officials say the crackdown is focusing on individuals in Uganda without valid work permits or visas, many of whom are allegedly operating businesses illegally.

In XXX v YYY (2026 INSC 334), the Supreme Court of India stated in para 58 that even if the wife is highly educated and professionally qualified, that alone cannot absolve the husband of his matrimonial, paternal, moral, and legal responsibility to provide for his wife and children. The Court also found that the husband’s claimed inability to pay maintenance was merely a tactic to evade those obligations.

In essence, a husband cannot escape his duty to maintain his wife and children simply because the wife is educated, employable, or professionally qualified.

Sexually explicit or suggestive digital content, including WhatsApp messages and TikTok videos, sent by a workplace superior to a junior employee constitutes sexual harassment.

In RAO v O L & another (Cause E744 of 2023) [2025] KEELRC 2485 (KLR) (19 September 2025), the claimant was employed as a Finance and Admin Associate and reported directly to the 1st respondent, the company’s CEO. She alleged that he subjected her to sexual harassment through inappropriate digital communications and later sexually assaulted her after a client meeting in January 2023.

Although the company placed her on paid leave and appointed an independent investigator, she resigned, contending that the 1st respondent’s conduct had rendered the workplace hostile, intolerable and unconducive.

The court held that the superior’s sexually explicit messages constituted sexual harassment and that the claimant had proved, on a balance of probabilities, that the 1st respondent had sexually assaulted her, contrary to section 6(1) of the Employment Act and ILO Convention No. 190.

The court further held that the 1st respondent’s actions rendered the workplace hostile, intolerable and unconducive, leaving her with no option but to resign and thereby establishing constructive dismissal.

Consequently, the court awarded her one month’s salary in lieu of notice and ten months’ gross salary as compensatory damages, totalling Kshs 1,320,000. The respondents’ counterclaim was dismissed.

Singapore Ministry of Law has released the Singapore Guide for Using Generative AI in the Legal Sector, a practical framework aimed at supporting the responsible adoption of GenAI in legal practice.

The Guide highlights several key principles for legal professionals and institutions integrating AI into their work. It emphasizes on governance and accountability in the use of GenAI within legal practice Making it clear that while GenAI can assist in legal tasks such as drafting, research, and document review, the ultimate responsibility for legal work remains with the legal professional.

Legal professionals are cautioned against inputting confidential or privileged information into public or unsecured GenAI systems without adequate safeguards. It recommends that organisations and/or law firms develop internal policies, train staff on AI literacy, and establish clear workflows for responsible GenAI use.

The Guide encourages law firms to assess their needs, conduct due diligence on AI vendors, and implement tools in a controlled and monitored manner. This step-by-step approach helps reduce risks associated with premature or unregulated adoption. It also promotes continuous monitoring and review as an essential component of responsible GenAI use

While the Guide reflects the realities of a highly developed legal ecosystem, it offers useful lessons for emerging digital markets. As AI adoption continues to grow across Africa, there is an increasing need for practical frameworks that support responsible use within the legal profession.

AI Will Redefine Legal Practice, Says Advocate Robert Kirunda

Advocate Robert Kirunda has said the economics of legal practice are set to change dramatically as artificial intelligence reshapes the profession.

Speaking at the Judicial Service Conversations, Kirunda noted that clients will increasingly pay less for routine legal work as AI tools take on tasks traditionally handled by lawyers.

“What we are trading in now is judgment,” he said, warning that lawyers who continue to think in traditional ways risk being left behind. “The terrain of what makes a good lawyer has shifted — from accuracy to value.”
