Crane Bank to Appeal to Supreme Court

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. -
The Gender Equality Seal for Private Entreprises in Uganda
The Gender Equality Seal for Private Entreprises in Uganda. A certification program that enables businesses to increase productivity, profitability and partnerships through: Employee performance schemes that reduce gender-gaps at the work place. Innovations for gender-appropriate product design and customer services. Networking with global companies that support the sustainable development goals. What the Gender Equality Seal is about: The Gender Equality Seal (GES) promotes investment in systems that integrate gender equality into the work environment and business strategies. It is a learning and certification programme, supported by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), to help businesses achieve Gender Equality, which is Goal Five of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. (SDGs). The SDGs (global goals), were signed up by world leaders in September 2015 at the United Nations General Assembly in New York. Private companies that get the Gender Equality Seal certification attain sustainable business growth, which in turn leads to sustainable development. Why getting the Seal is good for private companies: The Gender Equality Seal certification programme provides private companies a mechanism to level the playing field for both women and men at the work place. It also helps companies to make their human resource management systems equitable and more gender sensitive. Working to achieve the Gender Equality Seal helps management of private companies understand how their decisions affect female staff compared to male colleagues; how gender-pay-gaps come about and how to work out a work-life-balance for employees. ...Compliments Certification of Government Institutions. For Government, the Gender Equality Seal complements the Gender and Equity Certificate that is used to assess the gender responsiveness of sector plans and budgets, as provided for by the Public Finance Management Act (PFM 2014). -
