What happened
The Uganda Law Society informed Parliament’s Committee on Physical Infrastructure that a government contract awarded to Joint Stock Company Global Security violated public procurement laws. The society argued that the company was handpicked for the deal and that the contract infringes on data protection and privacy laws. This occurred as the committee investigated the implementation and use of digital number plates in Uganda.
