Aya Investment slapped with Shs 1.46b bill over unpaid debts

Uganda's Commercial Court has compelled Aya Investment Uganda Limited to remit approximately 1.46 billion shillings to General International Technical Company following a protracted dispute over unpaid construction deliverables for the Pearl of Africa Hotel. Justice Patience Rubagumya determined that the hotelier owed $145,250 for electrical infrastructure, security installations and telecommunications equipment, which ballooned to $389,270 after applying compound interest dating from April 2018. The tribunal added 65 million shillings in compensatory awards after reviewing documentation confirming the contractor's fulfillment of obligations spanning air conditioning networks, fiber optic systems and fire suppression apparatus.
