Rev. Edward Nalwamba — who came to the U.S. from Uganda 24 years ago and overstayed his visa — has been in immigration detention since last fall. Now, the 78-year-old has lost 35 pounds and is so weak that he cannot walk unassisted. wapo.st/4f6u61H

WiFi hotspots aren't stealing from Uganda's telecoms. They're one of their biggest daily customers. Here's why UCC's hotspot crackdown needs a rethink, not a shutdown. For UGX 1,000/day, students, boda riders, and traders across Uganda get online through neighbourhood hotspots. This is a big reason Uganda now has 27M+ internet subscriptions and 60% penetration. 
Every hotspot owner buys bulk data from MTN or Airtel. Every mobile money payment earns the telecom a fee. Hotspots feed the formal telecom economy. They don't compete with it. 
UCC's 7 July notice is right about one thing the sector is unorganised. Unlicensed. Hard to regulate. The fix isn't a shutdown. It's a smarter licence. 
A boda boda and a fuel tanker don't pay the same road licence. A small hotspot and a national ISP shouldn't pay the same telecom licence either. A low-fee licence tier for small operators compliance most will choose willingly. 
Here's the part nobody's talking about almost every hotspot runs on a billing system that already tracks usage, subscribers, and mobile money revenue. That data UCC needs for licensing and tax? It already exists. 
Instead of chasing thousands of hotspot owners one by one, UCC could partner with billing system providers and get sector-wide visibility fast, cheap, and without killing affordable internet access. 
This is regulation done right formalise what already works instead of shutting it down. #Uganda #UCC #WiFi #DigitalEconomy #FinTech #EastAfrica @UCC_Official @XenFiSystems @UCC_ED

Señorías… No se quien ha hecho esto pero es muy bueno… 👇🏻👇🏻🤣🤣👏👏

@RugyendoQuotes @BalaamBarugahar @FGoloobaMutebi We should also note that there was a budget gap in the last FY when the MWT requested Sh3.153 TN but was allocated only Sh682b for national roads. They suspended & infrastructure projects, leading to projects stalling due to the lack of funds.

Without the 'illegality' of Hon. @BalaamBarugahar, how else would we know about the extensity of the rot (Obujuunde) in our country(side)? @FGoloobaMutebi

6 years ago circa 2020, I was running ads for a labor export firm. The copy was a story, I tested, carousels, videos, and different landing pages, phone, WhatsApp, email, form and website. the form outperformed all other landing pages, here's why. IO

Yes, those photos you’ve seen are real. More than 18 years ago, a baby named Lamine Yamal and his mom Sheila met Lionel Messi at a UNICEF fundraising photoshoot. Today, their achievements on the pitch inspire millions. Off the pitch, both Messi and Lamine Yamal use their voices and platforms as UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors to support and advocate for children around the world. The goal? That every child survives, thrives, and fulfils their potential. We are proud to have them on our team. Credit: Joan Monfort

@bartlettdaron I think that's where we should make noise to beat travel advisories.

Is there an excitement about AFCON in any of the East African countries hosting? Looks like we are still gambling with stadiums and accomodation.

The ongoing Iran vs USA battle for control of the Straits of Hormuz is in fact an American struggle for the survival of the United States dollar as a primary global currency. The outcomes will affect the whole world. Identify your interests in the matter, and prepare accordingly.

The battle is still ON......

Safe journey home...

@AbiazRwamwiri Bro, stop throwing tantrums, mwetereze.

With the biggest embassy in Kampala and biggest staff in the region, you selfishly and shamelessly place Uganda on the same boat with Libya when your citizens are hooping from one night club to another in Kampala!

@GenKatusiime Amos should start reading some tweets and read deeply through them.

Amos we are also wondering

US tells Americans DO NOT TRAVEL to Uganda and other 22 countries.....according to US, there is a highest level of threat to Americans in the country which is yet to be explained.

@SantosMwine Eeh what is this?!

Update!

Former house girl whom Among told her secrets while speaker Among and Namujju joined Parliament at the same time and, therefore, became the best of friends. Namujju used to visit @AnitahAmong, and they chatted inside Among’s lavish bedroom. During their chats, they disclosed to each other their wealth, investment plans, marriage issues and future political plans. DETAILS 👉👉newvision.co.ug/category/polit… #VisionUpdates

Someone wants quick hack to reach 5 million impressions on x akoleki? 😱

@andrewbagala How long was she/he working there as a maid before the money disappeared?

A man disguised himself as a woman & got a job as a maid. Rayan Kayaga AKA Rukia Namirembe's gender was detected during a routine security body search at the church entrance where he had gone for prayers. After the arrest, his employer found out that Shs1.7m was missing at home.

The fees highlighted indicate that there is goodwill in supporting innovations & Startups!

Dear @UCC_ED, have you tried to engage these valuable stakeholders, and how can you help them without frustration? The rapid rise of neighbourhood Wi-Fi hotspot businesses charging as little as Shs400 a day is reshaping Uganda's internet market and supporting digital inclusion.
