Deliberate“You have deliberately failed to correct the concerned newspaper that the investigation was not targeted or focused at our late client’s conduct, but at the overall business operations, financial management and control and procurement processes.“In fact, the investigation would have also covered matters that also fall within the duties and powers of both management and directors,” the lawyer said. Posthumous harassmentAccording to Namandje, the probe into Uugwanga’s conduct was unlawful and irregular.He added that the board insensitively discussed his late client’s affairs at Agribusdev while his family and friends were mourning his death.According to Namandje, the board’s conduct amounted to posthumous harassment.
