Parliament passed a 12% tax on Internet data removing the daily 200 shillings over the top tax (OTT) that Ugandans were paying to access Internet services.
According to Kisirinya, the outbreak of covid-19 in the country has paralysed all physical businesses which has affected many of the entrepreneurs who have resorted to doing business online.
