Southern African based law firm, Bowmans law has announced a new Managing Partner for its Kampala office (AF Mpanga Advocates), with Ernest Wiltshire Kalibala replacing William Kasozi effective 1st September 2019.
This comes after Kampala lawyer, David Mpanga was reportedly summoned by his bosses in South African to answer queries in relation to his scandalous dealings with the Bank of Uganda (BoU). The South Africans run an office in Kampala where Mpanga is a partner.
According to reports, about a week ago, Bowmans shared addresses with the public where information on their staff and partners can be sent especially those cited in bad deeds.
In December 2017, citing him in conflict of interest, the civil division of the High Court disqualified law firms MMAKS Advocates and AF Mpanga Advocates (Bowmans) from representing the Bank of Uganda in the case where the Central Bank/Crane Bank In Receivership sued Kampala businessman Sudhir Ruparelia and Meera Investments for allegedly fleecing former Crane Bank Limited of Shs397 billion.
The above decision came after Sudhir applied to court seeking that they be barred from representing BoU and any other institution where Ruparelia Group is involved.
