Uganda Man files lawsuit after being removed from Whatsapp group
A Ugandan man, identified as Herbert Baitwababo has reportedly filed a lawsuit after being removed from a Whatsapp group. According to reports, Herbert Baitwababo approached the court where he disclosed that the ‘Buyanja My Roots’ WhatsApp group (which was dedicated for the growth of the community). and as such, members had to pay Sh.30,000 only to subscribe for the membership in the group which he did.
Mr Baitwababo disclosed that, his issue with the group admin, Allan Asinguza, began after he asked for an audit report and financial accountability for the funds collected since the group’s establishment in 2017. And on May 17, 2023, the administrator removed him from the WhatsApp group, which caused Baitwababo to take legal action.
In its decision, the court mandated that the group administrator bring back Baitwababo. Additionally, it imposed an order that forbade Baitwababo from ever again being kicked off of the WhatsApp group “Buyanja My Roots.”
