MOBILE MONEY COMPANIES ROB UGANDANS BILLIONS BY CONTINUING TO CHARGE 1%
As Ugandans continue in a mobile money tax shock. telephone companies are reaping billions from taxing mobile money transactions. The president of Uganda issued a directive to reduce mobile money tax to 0.5%. This was confirmed by the communication minister Tumwebaze in a press conference but since then Mobile companies still continue to charge Ugandans 1%.
Will they make a refund to Ugandans when they Upgrade their system or Ugandans will still suffer double robbery. Will these mobile money companies surrender the extra billions of shillings that they have accrued to the national coffers. Don't let them continue cheating you.

UGANDANS NOW REACT IN SUPPORT OF THE SOCIAL MEDIA TAX AFTER KAMPALA CENTRAL MP OPPOSED IT.
Kampala central legislator Muhammad Nsereko wrote this letter to the President of Uganda opposing the social media tax.
Muhammad Nsereko
Dear comrades,
I will use this platform to follow up my April 03 post to Gen. Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, President of The Republic Of Uganda.
Uganda’s leading export earner is tourism, with a target of over 3 million tourists per annum.
My questions to you Mr. President are;
1.what’s the probability that any sensible tourist shall leave other countries and visit Uganda where communication that is free all over the world in form of Whatsapp, Twitter, Facebook etc attracts a direct charge?
2. Are you aware that a tourist as it is now is required to have a local number and even register for mobile money services in order to use services like WhatsApp, Twitter, Facebook etc?
3. Aware that communication is now considered a human right and to some countries WiFi even offered free, what’s your take on killing innovation in ICT in your own country that has failed to offer decent jobs to the educated class?
4. Do you think of the negative publicity Uganda gets from the over 2 billion potential tourists and investors in the world as a result of this disastrous tax plan?
5. Are you aware that social media has eased education communication, for instance conference learning, Whatsapp discussion groups for university students etc. These are cheap solutions through OTT? All these save time, money etc.
6. Are you aware that these apps had facilitated business for example lowering cost of advertisement on Facebook and through Whatsapp small business groups? Which investor will ignore for example our neighbors that have cheap power, near the port, low cost of internet etc and come to Uganda where all are expensive?
I urge you to rethink about this tax and it’s ramifications. Surely this social media tax shall have more harmful impact on our economy.
PUBLIC REACTIONS TO THIS LETTER.

SUPERSTAR SHAKIRA'S MANSION ON MAIMI BEACH FOR SALE $11.648MILLION
According to listing agents Antonio Mebarak, Shakira's brother, and Ana Lourdes Martinez, both with Douglous Elliman Real Estate, since the property was last for sale there have been a number of decorative improvements including new hardwood floors imported from Spain, a new front door from an unspecified European location, the addition of custom-designed furniture, updated landscaping and all new lighting systems both inside and outside.An imposing stainless steel gate opens to a wide, hedge-lined driveway and two-car garage trimmed in bougainvillea. Double front doors open all but directly into the roomy dining area of a window-lined and light-filled combination living and dining room with a minimalist fireplace in the living area and a lowered ceiling in the dining area that imbues a sense of intimacy in the grandly proportioned room. The sleek kitchen, with lustrous white cabinetry and gleaming stainless steel appliances, is arranged around a doublewide center island with an integrated snack counter. There’s also built-in dining table and a full wall of almost floor-to-ceiling windows that open to a small, leafy patio.
$11.648 million
A fitness room looks out on to the driveway and motor court; an office suite has a built-in desk area where the three-time Grammy winning pop star displays a small cache of her huge number of industry awards from around the world; And a spacious entertainment wing extends off the rear of the house behind the kitchen and alongside the swimming pool and contains a media area decked out with state-of-the art media and sound equipment, a billiards area with an all-white pool table and sofa-lined hookah lounge set into a windowed bay.
At least two of the six bedrooms are capable of serving as the master suite and one of them, atop the entertainment wing with an adjacent en suite nursery or dressing room, features a just barely pink hand-rubbed Venetian plaster accent wall in the bedroom, a couple of extravagant antique Venetian mirrors in the other-wise crisply clean-lined bathroom and a zigzagging private terrace under a cantilevered roof.
The back of the house opens to a large deck with plenty of room for scads of minimalist sunbeds and chaise loungers plus a swimming pool and a poolside dining cabana with wet bar. Beyond a row of slender palm trees and towering hedge, there’s a small, L-shaped private dock.
The top selling pop superstar, whose sold more than 60 million albums and whose 2017 album “El Dorado” won a 2018 Grammy in the Best Latin Pop Album category, lives primarily in Barcelona, Spain, with her professional soccer player mate Gerard Piqué where in 2012 it was reported the sultry couple acquired a huge contemporary mansion in the upscale Esplugues de Llobregat area. In 2015 it was reported the couple splashed out around five million Euros for another Barcelona home, this one said to measure more than 15,000-square-feet and all but hidden behind a high wall and towering trees with seven bedrooms, two kitchens and a swimming pool along one of the city’s more exclusive streets in the Pedralbes neighborhood.
Shakira, who by some unverified estimates has a net worth that exceeds $250 million dollars, has also long maintained a residence in The Bahamas where, so the international real estate scuttlebutt goes, some years ago she, Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters and Grammy-hoovering Spanish singer/songwriter Alejandro Sanz together paid around $16 million for an approximately 700-acre island known as Bonds Cay.
