In a crucial update for all citizens, Thembo Nyombi, the Executive Director of the Uganda Communications Commission (UCC), has today provided a strong assurance to Ugandans regarding the nation’s digital connectivity. Mr. Nyombi explicitly stated that the country’s vital communication infrastructure, including all internet services, will remain fully operational and accessible throughout the upcoming general elections scheduled for January 15. This definitive declaration from the head of the communications regulatory body aims to alleviate any public apprehension and ensure a smooth electoral process.
The Executive Director’s statement directly addresses and firmly dismisses a series of circulating rumors that had suggested the possibility of a widespread internet shutdown during the electoral period. These unverified reports had generated considerable concern among the populace, raising questions about the ability of citizens to communicate, access information, and follow election proceedings online. Mr. Nyombi emphasized that such drastic measures are not being considered by the authorities, reinforcing the commitment to maintaining open lines of communication for all Ugandans during this critical democratic exercise.
