Uganda being a religious country, its leaders have no smiles for people who deal in pornographic materials and the people who molest girls.

On Wednesday the court in Uganda fined the Turkish national, Emin Baro, the 53-year-old man who was on Monday sentenced to two years in jail at Luzira Maximum security prison after pleading guilty to computer misuse and possessing child pornographic materials.

Emin Baro was fined 6 million shillings. But he was not released. It is said the judiciary wanted to have a test of Uganda’s jails. So he will be released on Thursday, March 29. Baro came to Uganda as a tourist six years back but he started sexually abusing girls below 10 years old.

Millions of people in the East African Countries of Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi, and Tanzania are experiencing internet service interruptions and businesses relying on internet services are about to collapse. Such businesses include computer service centres, computer training centres, website designers and internet cafes.

The owners of businesses relying on internet for survival have written memos to their service providers such as MTN, Airetel, Orange Telecom, Uganda telecom, Vodacom and Warid telecom for an explanation.

In the Republic of Uganda, Orange telecom has sent messages to her customers reading that “Dear valued customers; we are experiencing a service interruption on our back up link to Kenya which has affected your internet experience. We have been told that MTN, Warid, UTL and Airtel have written similar messages to their customers.
