- ItemA Critical Analysis of the Doctrine of Indoor Management Rule under Company.(Kampala International University, Masters of Arts in Law, 2023-09) Amna Ahmed Alnour JbreelThe study was focused on “a critical analysis of the doctrine of indoor management rule under company law” which analyzed the doctrine of indoor management rule under company law in Uganda. According to this doctrine, persons dealing with the company need not inquire whether internal proceedings relating to the contract are followed correctly, once they are satisfied that the transaction is in accordance with the memorandum and articles of association. The doctrines of constructive notice and indoor management are essentially rules of prudence which facilitate business transactions between a company and an outsider. The indoor management rule is a doctrine under the company law which is globally accepted as it’s an exception to the doctrine of constructive notice and somewhat reducing its harshness. In companies law the doctrine of constructive notice is a doctrine where all persons dealing with a company are deemed (or construed) to have knowledge of the company’s Articles of Association and Memorandum of Association. Therefore, it protects the company from the actions of outsiders while the doctrine of indoor management protects the outsider person from the illegal actions of the company. However the following are the objectives of the study analyzed: To examine the doctrine of indoor management under company law in Uganda, to examine the exceptions to the doctrine of indoor management prescribed in The Companies Act and to assess the application of the doctrine of indoor management Uganda.
- ItemAbolition of death penalty and its implications for the justice system in South Sudan(Kampala International University, 2018-10) Nhial, Thiep LinoDeath penalty is a recognized punishment for a number of crimes in South Sudan Criminal Justice System. European Union under the umbrella of International Community, calls for moratorium or abolition of death penalty by the President of South Sudan Salva Kiir Mayardit, without due consideration of law making process in South Sudan and views of South Sudanese people. The main objective of the study is to determine the implications of abolition of death penalty in the criminal justice system in South Sudan. In this dissertation I argue that the facts on ground does not support or permit moratorium or abolition of death penalty. The researcher considered the concepts of capital punishment, history and religious views, discussing the legal dimensions on death penalty and finding out law governing the death penalty in South Sudan and exposition of issues. It was found out that innocent people are subjected to death penalty on the basis of corruption and it begins from investigation up to judgment, lack of a fair trial and lack of Independence Judiciary. Most of victims of death penalty are innocent and from poor families. The conflicts of laws are seen under the Constitution, Penal Code Act and Customary Laws. The majority of the masses in South Sudan still support the retention of death penalty. In most decentralized societies of “Nilotic” mainly Dinkas “Jieng” and others like Nuer the practice is Mosaic Laws (the Law of Moses) of Old Testament which says ‘an eye for an eye and a tooth for tooth’. In any case of abolition it means taking the law back to the hands of communities which may lead to injustice, instability and insecurity. Although the practice of death penalty was imported from Common Law, customarily, Nilotics used blood compensation (Apuk) which is usually paid by cows; today it is still popular among Nilotics. More education should be encouraged because the well-informed people will hold better quality opinions. Governments must ensure that citizens base their views regarding the death penalty on a rational and properly informed assessment. Governments should lead, not follow or hide behind public opinion. Communication channels should be improved because it is clear that the quality of public opinion depends to a large extent on the availability and flexibility of the agencies of public communication, such as the press (newspapers, radio, or television), and public meetings it is further recommended that Courts should take every opportunity to explain the system of judicial review and the independence of the judiciary and also interpret laws on death penalty to find out who it applies to. There ought to be a concerted effort to persuade the public about the importance of judicial independence and impartiality. Courts should fight corruption and administer justice impartially. Judges should undergo further training so that they can realize their roles in administration of justice. Invest in the capacity of courts, and ensure they are properly staffed and have sufficient means to meet the high demand for cases. This includes also the training and vetting of judges and legal personnel. Invest in the capacity of police and administrative services for judiciary. The NGO and National Civil Society organizations should support legal aid programmes and the government in developing a detailed justice reform. The government should review national laws to make them in conformity with the international laws and ratify international human rights instruments

This will make them realize the importance of the lessons taught and not regard them as abstract. Interest will therefore be created in the foster pupils and their desire to be in school would be increased. Teachers need to motivate the children. When these are working at full power in an individual, remarkable feats of learning can be achieved. It is therefore in the teacher’s interest to take the trouble to see that the child’s interest and appropriate desires are aroused before trying to teach him/her; (2) to strengthen the efforts in providing positive psychosocial and educational counseling support to foster children especially in the area of foster care centres such as SOS Children’s Villages and (3) to introduce compensatory academic support to fostered children in their early years of schooling even in the absence of evidence of psychosocial problems.

- ItemAccounting information system and decision making in selected banking institutions in Kampala Uganda(Kampala International University, College of economics and management, 2023-11) Baraka, Nshombo JenniferThe study examined accounting information system and decision making in Selected Banking institutions in Kampala Uganda. It was guided by three specific objectives that included; (i) determining the effect of computerized accounting information system on decision making of selected Banking institutions in Kampala, Uganda; (ii) establishing the effect of manual accounting information system on decision making of selected Banking institutions in Kampala, Uganda and (iii) to establish the effect of system control on decision making of selected Banking institutions in Kampala, Uganda. This study employed cross-sectional, survey and descriptive research design to describe the variables. The questionnaire and Interview guide were used to collect data. The study population was 138 with a sample size of 103. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used in this study. The findings indicated that computerised accounting information system contributes to the decision making (F-value=136.963 and Sig-value=.000); the findings revealed that improvement in manual accounting information system it can lead to an improvement in the level of decision making (F-value=13.955 and Sig-value=.000), and lastly good system control can increase the level of decision making (F-value=108.275 and Sig-value=.000). The conclusions were that; computerised accounting information system provides real-time information, which means that managers can make decisions based on the most up-to-date financial data, hence allowing for more efficient and effective decision-making among the Banking institutions in Kampala, Uganda. Manual accounting information system greatly affects decision making in banking institutions by being time-consuming, prone to errors, having limited reporting capabilities, lacking integration with other systems, and providing limited financial analysis capabilities. The researcher recommended that: Banking institutions should conduct a thorough assessment of the current Computerized Accounting Information System to identify areas for improvement. The ICT bank manager should make sure that the hardware and software being used for the Computerized Accounting Information System is up-to-date and meets the needs of the bank. The Banking institutions should establish internal controls to prevent errors, fraud and embezzlement. Still the banking institutions should standardize accounting procedures and processes to ensure consistency and accuracy in financial reporting. This can be achieved by creating a manual that outlines procedures and guidelines for recording and reporting financial transactions. The study contribute to knowledge in a way that it provides a localized perspective on the impact of AIS on decision-making within the unique context of Kampala, Uganda. This is crucial as the effectiveness of AIS can be influenced by specific cultural, regulatory, and economic factors, which may differ from other global contexts. The study identifies and analyzes specific challenges faced by banking institutions in Kampala regarding AIS implementation and its impact on decision-making. This contributes to a deeper understanding of the hurdles that organizations may face in leveraging AIS effectively. Simultaneously, the identification of opportunities highlights areas where improvements can be made to enhance decision-making processes. By focusing on the integration of AIS with existing processes and technologies, the research sheds light on the practical challenges faced by banking institutions in Kampala. This information is crucial for policymakers and industry practitioners seeking to streamline integration processes and maximize the benefits of AIS. The study explores the role of user competence and training in influencing the success of AIS in decision-making. This insight contributes to the understanding of the human factor in technology adoption and suggests potential interventions for improving staff training programs to optimize AIS utilization.
