The world-class Internet connectivity will be set up at the (King’s) Kabaka’s office lounge for use by the King and the kingdom’s officials.

According to MTN Chief Marketing Officer, Mr. Ernst Fonternel, the Internet connectivity to the King further demonstrates its commitment to lead the delivery of a bold, new digital world to our customers in Buganda and indeed Uganda.
