KAMPALA- Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni has criticised the telecommunications regulator after it slashed MTN Uganda’s fee for renewing its telecoms licence, according to a letter seen by Reuters.
Local media reported on Tuesday that the Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) had decided to charge MTN Uganda, which is owned by South Africa’s MTN Group, $58 million to renew its licence for 10 years, instead of $100 million originally set for the renewal. MTN Uganda is the country’s biggest telecoms operator.
