President Museveni Cracks Down on Corruption in NITA-U, Demands Transparency in ROWARD Deal

Kampala, Uganda – In a bold move against corruption, President Yoweri Museveni has issued an ultimatum to the Uganda National Information Technology Authority (NITA-U) to sign a joint venture agreement with ROWARD capital commercial brokers LLC-Uganda, a strategic investor in the country’s telecommunications sector.

According to sources, Museveni is frustrated with NITA-U’s resistance to the deal, which aims to revamp Uganda Telecommunications Company Ltd (UTL) with a Shs830bn investment from ROWARD. The President believes that NITA-U bosses are favoring a Kenyan investor over ROWARD and spreading false rumors about the company.

Museveni has given NITA-U 21 days to sign the agreement, threatening to take drastic measures, including closing down the authority and prosecuting its top officials, if they fail to comply.This development is seen as a significant step in the fight against corruption and a demonstration of Museveni’s commitment to transparency and good governance.

“The President’s actions show that he is serious about tackling corruption and ensuring that deals are done in a transparent and fair manner,” said a government official.

The ROWARD deal is expected to revitalize UTL and enhance Uganda’s telecommunications infrastructure, providing better services to citizens and businesses.As the deadline approaches, all eyes are on NITA-U to see if they will comply with the President’s directive. One thing is clear: Museveni is determined to leave no stone unturned in his quest for accountability and transparency.
