Uganda’s High Court has ruled that MTN Uganda must pay over 2.3 billion Ugandan Shillings to former senior manager Richard Mwami. The court found MTN maliciously pursued the prosecution of Mwami in connection with a large-scale fraud case involving MTN Mobile Money. Mwami previously held roles as senior manager for MTN Village Phone. The ruling indicates MTN improperly instigated legal proceedings against its former employee. This decision highlights potential repercussions for companies initiating prosecutions without sufficient grounds. The financial penalty aims to compensate Mwami for the damages incurred due to the legal action.
