The Uganda Civil Aviation Authority (UCAA) has been ordered to pay Shs26 million to a former employee who was unfairly dismissed after exposing a passenger smuggling 12 rhino horns through Entebbe International Airport. The Industrial Division of the High Court ruled that Arnold Olweny Bonaventure was unlawfully terminated from UCAA and therefore deserved compensation in the form of general damages equivalent to one year's salary. The court noted that Olweny was earning Shs2.1 million per month at the time of his termination, had already been paid notice pay, accumulated leave, and service gratuity, and had served the authority for seven years.
