The Attorney General Kiryowa Kiwanuka says the 10-year contract government of Uganda signed with Russian company Joint Stock Company Global Security to install digital monitoring systems in all motorcycles and vehicles in Uganda was approved by his office.
Joint Stock Company Global Security which was awarded the contract on Friday last week is facing bankruptcy litigations in Russia and more than a dozen other debt related litigations, however Kiryowa says that the government isn’t aware of any bankruptcy order issued against the company.
That Global Security is facing bankruptcy litigation in Russia is public information. URN obtained data about the company from Honest Business website, which curates information about businesses and companies in Russia.
According to reports, Joint Stock Company Global Security is battling cases of bankruptcy in Russia and on Monday several MPs expressed surprise that the government could enter a contract with a company that is facing bankruptcy litigation.
They also queried the process through which the contract was awarded, whether it was open and if PPDA was involved.
