In his letter to the ex employees,  the governor says Bank of Uganda is ready to defend itself should the employees proceed to Courts of law.

On 23 October the ex employees of crane bank  gave  Bank of Uganda 45 days within which to pay to them 48 billion shillings for loss of their employments

Through their lawyer Isaac Semakadde  the employees served the Governor of Bank of Uganda with a notice of intention to sue Bank of Uganda and DFCU  Bank in case he fails to pay their money in the stated period.

The  ex-workers led by Achan Catherine Kate  contend that until 20 October 2016 they were employees of Bank and Bank of Uganda subsequently took over the management of the Crane Bank on ground that it was under capitalized as described by law and therefore posed a systematic risk to the stability of the finance system.

The claim that on 27 January 2017 Bank of Uganda notified the general public that it had transferred and conveyed the asset and liabilities of Crane Bank to DFCU subject to a purchase  and  takeover  agreement that was fraud, unfair and allegedly concealed from the workers whose rights were affected directly by the takeover process.

The group says that according to the  recent Auditor General’s report Bank of Uganda forced  the closure of Crane Bank and other local banks  and induced DFCU terminate all its employees.

The former employees contend that the move to close Crane Bank was in bad faith  and in breach of Bank of Uganda’s  duties under the constitution.

The ex employees want Bank of Uganda to pay 120 million shillings to each of them as compensation for the unlawful termination of their services with Crane Bank.
