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.

Sources in government have told us that the ministers behind the idea of relocating the capital city to Nakasongola have already sold the idea to president Museveni who also seems to be supportive of the idea.

We are told some of the ministers behind the idea of relocating the capital city are Justice Minister Maj. Gen. Kahinda Otafiire and state minister for transport Stephen Cheborot.

There are also proposals that the capital should be relocated to Mbarara as the late former president of Uganda Milton Obote had planned in the past. The ministers behind the proposal argue that relocating the capital city will decongest Kampala.

It seems president Museveni security is growing from big to big all the time. Incapable sources at statehouse tell us that the president is now using two euro planes whenever he goes to areas like northern Uganda where his support on ground is questionable.

We hear that the president is using his usual presidential chopper and another small one we also hear it was donated to him by the former Libyan leader, Col. Muammar Gadaffi.

The plane was reportedly given to president Museveni to help him sweep the polls. The civilian chopper Russian made moves ahead of the presidential chopper, clearing the way before the presidential chopper lands on ground.  Last in northern Uganda when Museveni visited the area, the Russian made chopper would hover the sky hours before the presidential chopper landed.
