What we need to build is the largest telecom company in Uganda. Right now, all of it is modernized with 2G, 3G, 4G, Broadband and much more. Our job doesn’t end at providing high quality communication at an affordable cost but also extends to giving back to the people we serve. We started this relationship 6 years ago. Often as Airtel we are asked how this relationship works. How we’re talking about a particular region. I’m happy to say that these questions have been answered by a successful partnership. Buganda Kingdom is a credible institution. As investors, when we come to Africa, we look for avenues to invest with credibility and honesty. I want to thank the Katikkiro of Buganda Owek. Charles Peter Mayiga for building such an honest institution. We are looking forward to strengthening this relationship and we are looking to operationalize it by taking it to every parish and every county. I am looking forward to building this relationship even further. It is an honor for us to once again renew our longstanding partnership with this prestigious and credible kingdom a partnership that has seen us change lives of Ugandans in the fields of health, Sports and communication. On behalf of Airtel Uganda, I would like to pledge our future commitment and support the kingdom, its people and its activities. He noted.
