Joseph Bbosa of Bowmans and AF Mpanga advocates has passed on
Bbosa formerly legal director at Bank of Uganda passed on in the Netherlands where his wife Justice Solome Balungi Bbosa works with the International Criminal Court. Bbosa also served as party vice president of Uganda Peoples’ Congress.
The Ugandan judiciary communicated his passing on; Justice Balungi formerly was a justice on the Supreme Court.
“We regret to announce the sudden passing of Mr Joseph Bossa, the husband to the Hon. Lady Justice Justice Solome Balungi Bossa of the International Criminal Court, which occurred in The Hague, Netherlands. The funeral arrangements will be communicated in due course”.
While at Bank of Uganda, Bbosa recruited the current director legal affairs, Margaret Kasule and at the same time sourced for Bowmans and AF Mpanga advocates and MMAKS Advocates as external legal firms representing BoU in legal matters. However, the two legal firms were later found to be conflicted in the case between BoU and businessman, Sudhir Ruparelia.
Upon retirement, he was appointed as party vice president of Uganda Peoples’ Congress (UPC) party president Olara Otunu. Bbosa and Otunu’s friendship dates back to their university time at Makerere where Bbosa served in Otunu’s guild cabinet.
He subsequently contested on the UPC ticket to represent Makindye East in parliament but was unsuccessful. He contested for UPC party presidency but lost to Jimmy Akena and hence the bickering that has continued to exist between the two factions at Uganda House.
