  • Determinants of Procurement Performance in Commercial Banks Within East Africa?
    DETERMINANTS OF PROCUREMENT PERFORMANCE IN COMMERCIAL BANKS WITHIN EAST AFRICA BY EVANS JUMA LUKETERO A RESEARCH PROJECT SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION, THE UNIVERSITY OF NAIROBI OCTOBER, 2016 DECLARATION This Research Project is my original work and has not been presented for a degree in any other University …………………………………….. ………………………… Signature Date EVANS JUMA LUKETERO Reg. No: D61/69206/2011 This Research Project has been submitted for examination with my approval as the University Supervisor MR. MICHAEL K. CHIRCHIR …………………………………….. ………………………… Signature Date ii DEDICATION I dedicate this research proposal to all the Banks in East Africa, to family especially my wife Rineldah Asiko, My daughter Adalia Juma and friends for their support and prayers during my studies. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I would like to thank the Almighty Lord for the gifts of Grace and Perseverance accorded to me. I would also like to acknowledge all my course lecturers and colleagues for their sincere support. Most important, I sincerely wish to acknowledge the support from my supervisor without whom I could not have gone this far with my project work. I owe you my gratitude. iv ABSTRACT Procurement efficiency is the association that exists between planned and actual required resources needed to realize formulated goals and objectives as well as their related activities. The improvement of procurement performance would ensure that sourced firm materials are indeed procured during the right time at suitable cost. This would in turn enable improvements in organization procurement process leading to improvements on quality of offered products and services at minimum cost.

However, due to the nascent level of the industry, there is limited and scattered information on what is taking place in the microfinance industry in Uganda. This Microfinance Industry Assessment study tries to compile information on various issues on the microfinance industry and gives an over-view of the general financial sector in Uganda, development and trends in the microfinance industry and issues on regulation of the sector. It provides a wealth of information and knowledge on what microfinance in Uganda is all about, how it fits into the overall financial sector and the role of various stakeholders in the industry. As a national Network for Ugandan microfinance practitioners and stakeholders, the Association of Microfinance Institutions of Uganda (AMFIU), has been involved in all the different stages of development of the MF industry.

Fax: (+256-414) 233818 Website: www.bou.or.ug E-mail: [email protected] CRANE BANK TO APPEAL TO SUPREME COURT KAMPALA – 30 June 2020 – Bank of Uganda (BoU) wishes to inform the public of its decision to appeal the Court of Appeal’s dismissal of the case filed by Crane Bank Limited (in Receivership) vs. Sudhir Ruparelia and Meera Investments Limited to the Supreme Court. In exercise of its powers under sections 87(3), 88(1)(a)&(b) of the Financial Institutions Act, 2004, BoU placed Crane Bank Ltd (In Receivership) [“Crane Bank”] under Statutory Management on 20th October 2016. This decision was necessary upon discovering that Crane Bank had significant and increasing liquidity problems that could not be resolved without the Central Bank’s intervention given that Crane Bank had failed to obtain credit from anywhere else. An inventory by external auditors found that the assets of Crane Bank were significantly less than its liabilities. In order to protect the financial system and prevent loss to the depositors of Crane Bank, Bank of Uganda had to spend public funds to pay Crane Bank’s depositors. A subsequent forensic investigation as to why Crane Bank became insolvent found a number of wrongful and irregular activities linked to Sudhir Ruparelia and Meera Investments Ltd. These findings form the basis of the claims in the lawsuit by Crane Bank. The suit was necessary for recovery of the taxpayers’ money used to pay depositors’ funds as well as the other liabilities of Crane Bank.

  • Has the Privatization of Uganda Commercial Bank Increased Competition and Extended Outreach of Formal Banking in Uganda?” Abstract
    DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS Uppsala University Bachelor’s Thesis Authors: Oscar Karlsson & Erik Malmgren Supervisor: Ranjula Bali Swain Spring 2008 “Has the Privatization of Uganda Commercial Bank Increased Competition and Extended Outreach of Formal Banking in Uganda?” Abstract: Financial sector development can reduce poverty and promote economic growth by extending access to financial services in developing countries. Traditionally, banking in Sub-Saharan Africa has been conducted by state-owned banks. Although, evidence has shown that severe government involvement in the banking sector has proved to cause low profitability and inefficiency. During 2001, Uganda Commercial Bank, the dominant provider of banking experienced financial problems; as a result, the government had to privatize the bank. The aim of this thesis is therefore to investigate if the privatization prevented the banking sector from collapse and if it made the sector more competitive and outreaching. The main conclusion is that the privatization strongly prevented the banking sector from collapse. Since privatization, competition has increased sufficiently in urban areas of Uganda while rural areas have not experienced any significant increase in competition. Finally, we conclude that the outreach of banking has increased somewhat since the privatization, but it is still relatively poor. Key Words: Sub-Saharan Africa, Uganda, Financial Development, Financial Structure, Access to Finance, Banking, Bank Competition, Bank Privatization, Outreach of Banking 2 Abbreviations Mentioned
