Uganda Tightens Control on Starlink Imports as President Museveni’s Son Muhoozi Kainerugaba Takes Charge Ahead of January Elections
Uganda has imposed new restrictions on the importation of Starlink and other satellite communication equipment, placing approval authority in the hands of President Yoweri Museveni’s son, Muhoozi Kainerugaba. A directive issued by the Uganda Revenue Authority now requires written authorisation from the Chief of Defence Forces before such equipment can be cleared at customs. The move, which takes effect immediately, comes just 24 days before the country’s general elections and has raised concerns due to Uganda’s history of internet shutdowns during polls.
