Blocking VPNs is a 'Tom & Jerry' game, VPNs were blocked in China but it's citizens have been using them within China for over 8 years now.

A 3rd world country that can't even manufacture a router wants to beat one of the best countries in tech to blocking VPNs #SocialMediaTax
Many companies use VPNs [remote&site-to-site] with ISPs providing links for connection, If they're to block, it would require them to block the protocols used by VPNs or provide/register VPNs used by clients in securing data over the internet. I doubt they can block all protocols
You can be successful at blocking VPN apps that use common protocols like PPTP, It will become a hard paper to block those that operate based on custom security protocols. China has been trying, VPN developers ain't sleeping. Uganda can't be a big challenger than China for now.

Amos Wekesa said that his tourism company lost around $258,000 as cancellation refunds to the tourists who have cancelled their visits to Uganda because of the current situation in Uganda.

#FreeBobiWine through the eyes of International Media: A thread.
I guess this is the kind of news that attracts tourists according to the current regime #FreeBobiWine
It will take a lot of PR to sanitize the regime image, State House supplementary budget is soon knocking #FreeBobiWine

Ministry of Education officials inflate UPE/USE school enrollments.

In FY 2015/16, the ministry’s planning department reported enrollment of 3,954 students in Buheesi Secondary School, yet the school had only 786 students

School received UGX439,092,403 which mafia's tapped into
Between 2008 and 2017, the Dutch government supported Uganda with UGX98,200,000,000 to revitalize education service delivery in Lango and Acholi sub-regions.

There was gross mismanagement of the project, with little to show for what the money was used for.
Ministry of Education officials bought 9,200 tri-circle padlocks which cost UGX8,000 on the market at an inflated price of UGX19,000 each.

France still holds national reserves of 14 African countries since 1961: Benin, Burkina Faso,Guinea-Bissau,Ivory Coast,Mali, Niger, Senegal,Togo,Cameroon,CAR, Chad, Congo-Brazzaville, Equatorial Guinea & Gabon

Reason: Payment of infrastructure built by France during colonization
France has the first right to buy any natural resources found in the land of its ex-colonies. It’s only after France would say, "I’m not interested”, that the African countries are allowed to seek other partners.
In the award of government contracts, French companies must be considered first, and only after that these 14 countries could look elsewhere. It doesn’t matter if the 14 African countries can obtain better value for money elsewhere.

Former French colonies have to deposit 50% of their foreign exchange reserves at the Bank of France.

They can only access 15% of the money in any given year. If they need more than that, they have to borrow their own money from France at a fee.
“We have to be honest, and acknowledge that a big part of the money in our banks come precisely from the exploitation of the African continent.”

“Without Africa, France will slide down into the rank of a 3rd world power”

Former French President Jacques Chirac .
“Without Africa, France will have no history in the 21st century” -- Former French President François Mitterand.
