ECOBANK BOSS ON THE BRINK! Pressure Mounts on Embattled MD Grace Muliisa to Pack Her Bags After Shs 1.8Bn Debacle
Ecobank Uganda is facing intense scrutiny after a High Court judge dismissed its debt claim against a local firm due to the bank's reliance on unreliable, manually created records. The ruling has led to calls for the resignation of Managing Director Grace Muliisa due to perceived leadership incompetence.
Why it matters
The case highlights significant failures in corporate governance and data integrity within a major financial institution, impacting investor and public trust.
KAMPALA — In one of the most embarrassing corporate court drubbings of the year, banking giant Ecobank Uganda has been left with egg on its face after the High Court Commercial Division threw out its UGX 1.87 Billion debt claim against a local firm—all because the financial institution failed to produce genuine, system-generated banking records!
Presiding Judge Lady Justice Anna Mugenyi delivered the crushing blow, dismissing the lender’s bloated suit after an independent auditor exposed that the bank relied on suspicious, manually cooked Excel spreadsheets full of glaring errors, missing figures, and scattered narratives rather than authentic core banking data.
To make matters worse for the humiliated lender, the judge slapped Ecobank with the full costs of the lawsuit, leaving the institution nursing massive financial and reputational wounds.
