Finance Minister Matai Kasaija has said Uganda has installed a total of 4,354 kilometre of fiber cables across the country, connecting 1,523 key government service delivery units to the National Backbone Infrastructure.

“Going forward, Wi-Fi will be further rolled out to an additional 820 key locations at subsidised rates, focusing on essential services such as schools, hospitals, and markets.
