KaCyber Security Technologies Limited has threatened legal action against Mbarara City Council and demanded Shs100 million over what the company describes as the unauthorised use of its corporate identity in a public procurement process.Through TMBEI Advocates, the company issued a demand notice dated August 7, 2026, denying any participation in or authorisation of Tender No. MBR 609/SEVS/2025/2026/00001.
The lawyers said KaCyber neither submitted a bid nor approved anyone to participate in the procurement on its behalf.The dispute centres on Joseph Kiiza, whom KaCyber says had no authority to represent the company in the tender. The lawyers stated that Kiiza was never a director, company secretary, authorised signatory or other officer empowered to legally bind KaCyber Security Technologies Limited.The lawyers also disputed claims allegedly presented by Kiiza in a related court matter, where he was said to have presented himself as KaCyber’s Operations Manager.
According to the demand notice, the company had no knowledge of, or consent to, such representations.“Any procurement documents, representations, undertakings or contractual dealings made by Mr. Joseph Kiiza in the name of KaCyber Security Technologies Limited were therefore fraudulent and unlawful,” the lawyers stated.TMBEI Advocates accused Mbarara City Council of failing to verify Kiiza’s authority before accepting representations made in KaCyber’s name.
The company says it intends to hold both Kiiza and the council responsible for the consequences arising from the alleged misuse of its corporate identity.KaCyber has given the council seven days to provide the complete procurement file, bid documents, correspondence, minutes, evaluation reports and other records connected to the disputed tender.
The lawyers have also demanded that all relevant documents and records be preserved, warning against their destruction, alteration or concealment.The company is seeking Shs100 million as compensation for alleged reputational harm, damages, costs and losses. It has also notified the Uganda Revenue Authority that it did not participate in or benefit from the tender and therefore says no income or transaction arising from it should be attributed to KaCyber. The lawyers warned that failure to pay within seven days would lead to immediate legal proceedings without further notice.
