GeraWitness in Uganda 2026 — Tamper-Evident Evidence Capture Aligned to Ugandan Courts

Quick answer: GeraWitness captures photo, video, audio, and document evidence with tamper-evident cryptographic hashes and a chain-of-custody log designed to support admissibility in Ugandan courts and EAC arbitration forums. Pricing in UGX, payable via MTN MoMo. Useful for road-traffic incidents, insurance claims, employment disputes, journalism, contractor handover, and land-boundary disputes.

Legal backdrop

Electronic evidence in Uganda is admissible under the Evidence (Computer Records) Act and the Electronic Transactions Act 2011. Courts commonly require proof of integrity of the record and proper chain of custody. GeraWitness signs each capture, timestamps it against a public time source, and records device state. The Data Protection and Privacy Act 2019 applies to personal data in captures; consent and lawful-basis features are built in.
