Ugandan Court Orders Bukusu Constructors to Pay Coca-Cola $104,000 in Damages

The Commercial Court Division of Uganda's High Court has ordered Bukusu Constructors Limited to pay Coca-Cola Beverages Uganda Limited $104,000 in damages for breaching a contract.

Coca-Cola had instituted the suit after alleging that Bukusu Constructors failed to fulfill its obligations under the credit arrangement. The agreement allowed Bukusu Constructors to receive products on credit, sell them, and remit proceeds through regular cash deposits into Coca-Cola bank accounts held at Stanbic Bank or Equity Bank.

As of October 4, 2025, Bukusu Constructors had accumulated a debit balance of sh372.4 million. Despite this, the company failed to fulfill its obligation and is now required to pay damages, including interest at an annual rate of 18 percent.
