A Ugandan court, through the Uganda Registration Services Bureau (URSB), has ruled in favor of former Privatisation Minister Mathew Rukikaire in a dispute over the control of companies owned by the late James Garuga Musinguzi. The URSB overturned the appointment of lawyer Agaba Maguru as a director of these companies, deeming the process unlawful. Rukikaire had formally challenged the resolutions that led to Maguru’s appointment, initiating the legal proceedings. This decision marks a success for Rukikaire in his efforts to contest the management of Garuga’s business interests following his death. The ruling clarifies the legal process for director appointments within these companies. The case highlights ongoing issues surrounding corporate governance and succession planning in Uganda. Further details regarding the specifics of the unlawful process were not provided in the initial report.
