6.   Clause 10: Notice of disclosure of protected information.

 

Clause 10(1)

Insert at the beginning of the sentence, “Subject to section 2 of this Act” to 
read as follows;

 

(1)  Subject to section 2 of this Act, where an authorized person believes on 
reasonable grounds –

 

a)    that a key to any protected information is in the possession of any 
person; and

b)    that the imposition of a disclosure requirement in respect of the 
protected information is necessary –

 

i)   in the interest of national security; or

ii)  for the purpose of preventing or detecting a felony; or

iii) in the interest of the economic well-being of Uganda;

 

the authorized person may, by notice to the person whom he or she believes to 
have possession of the key, impose a disclosure requirement in respect of the 
protected information.





My question on the above section is hypothetical

If government comes across a laptop that may or may not belong to Otunu that 
may or may not have accidentally fallen out of his car and they just want to 
make sure it is Otunu's laptop by opening it up and looking at its contents 
(otherwise they may accidentally give it to the wrong person and in doing so 
affect the economic well-being of Uganda).

Can they force me to open it under the belief that I have the "key"?
