Question 1 MERRIMAN UGANDA LTD Merriman Uganda Limited (MUL) deals in production of a variety of consumer goods. The company was established in 2010 by Mr. Mutugo. Since its establishment, MUL has grown because of its high quality products like soap, cooking oil, toothpaste and others. These products are also fairly priced and therefore have attracted a number of customers. MUL employs a cross section of Ugandans in its production, marketing and transport departments. It uses local raw materials but produces high quality products.Noticing that its goals had attracted many customers, MUL decided to expand its establishment by shareholders accepting to increase their share capital. But this brought Merriman Uganda Limited into conflict with the community who protested loss of their land and water pollution from Merriman's waste products. Demonstrations became the order of the day drawing government intervention to regulate operations of Merriman Uganda Ltd. That was the same time when it was noticed that Merriman had also evaded taxes for quite a long time. Meanwhile employees' salaries and payments to suppliers were no longer prompt. Much of the money had been used to service a loan from the bank used for expansion. MUL faced opposition from different stakeholders who had different interests, attitude and feelings. They all devised different measures to ensure that their stake in the company was upheld. A series of meetings that were held revealed that scarcity of goods and misunderstandings between the marketing and production department had denied quality products to its customers, who had joined consumer protection organization to ensure quality restoration. Before long, many of its stakeholders including the government threatened to close the enterprise, suppliers were more than read to sue Merriman Uganda Ltd,while sit down strikes by employees were becoming the order of theday.
