KaCyber Security Technologies Limited has demanded Shs100 million from Mbarara City Council over an alleged unauthorised use of its corporate identity in a public procurement process, warning that failure to settle the matter could trigger legal action.
In a demand notice issued through TMBEI Advocates on August 7, 2026, the company categorically denied taking part in Tender No. MBR 609/SEVS/2025/2026/00001. Its lawyers said KaCyber did not submit, approve or authorise any bid connected to the tender.
The lawyers singled out Joseph Kiiza, saying he had no mandate to act for KaCyber during the procurement process. They said he was neither a director, company secretary, authorised signatory nor an officer legally empowered to commit the company to any contractual or procurement obligation.
The lawyers also raised concerns over statements allegedly presented by Kiiza in a related court case, where he was said to have presented himself as an Operations Manager of KaCyber. The company maintains that it neither authorised nor consented to him making such representations.
“Mr. Joseph Kiiza was never authorised to bid for, negotiate or execute any procurement on behalf of our client,” the lawyers stated, stressing that any dealings made in the company’s name without authority were disputed.
KaCyber’s lawyers further accused Mbarara City Council of failing to verify Kiiza’s authority and of continuing to recognise his alleged representations. They warned that the company would hold Kiiza and the council jointly responsible for consequences arising from what they described as the unlawful use of KaCyber’s name and identity.
The company has given the council seven days to release the complete procurement file, bid documents submitted in its name and evidence showing how Kiiza’s authority was established. It has also demanded correspondence, minutes, evaluation reports, contract documents and other records related to the tender, while directing that all relevant evidence be preserved.
KaCyber is seeking Shs100 million for alleged reputational harm, damages, costs and losses linked to the disputed procurement. The company has separately notified URA that it neither participated in nor benefited from the tender and says no income arising from it should be attributed to the company. TMBEI Advocates warned that failure to pay within seven days would result in legal proceedings without further notice.
