At the recent CEOs Summit for insurance sector leaders in Nairobi, the Insurance Regulatory Authority (IRA) of Uganda Alhaj Lubega revealed that he has initiated conversations with underwriters in his country to consider usage-based products.

He argued that some products currently in the market do not have a value proposition to modern-day consumers.

He gave an example of motor vehicle insurance.
