Kampala Associated Advocates (KAA), a top law firm in Uganda has contributed Shs 30M to the COVID-19 Relief Taskforce, we have been reliably informed.
The law firm, earlier today, handed over a cheque of 30M to Prime Minister Rt. Hon. Ruhakana Rugunda, the Chairperson of the COVID-19 taskforce. The cheque was handed over by the firm’s Managing Partner Counsel Joseph Matsiko.
“We join other private sector players in contributing to the National Response Fund to Covid-19. We thank the government officials & the Ugandan health workers who are working tirelessly to flatten the curve.” The law firm said in a statement.
KAA, according to their website, was established in 2001 following a merger of four Ugandan legal firms. The founding partners were Bart Katureebe, a former Attorney General of the republic of Uganda who is now the Chief Justice of the Republic of Uganda; Sam Mayanja, who served as Secretary of the Uganda Development Bank board for over a decade; Oscar Kambona, who headed and managed the Uganda Tax Bureau; and Elly Karuhanga, a senior lawyer who has served as a member of Parliament and is now the Chairman of the Chamber of Mines and Petroleum and the Honorary Consul General of the Republic of Seychelles to Uganda.
