There is renewed controversy over the contract, performance and tariff collected by electricity distributor, Umeme

There is renewed controversy over the contract, performance and tariff collected by electricity distributor, Umeme, the private, listed company that has held a 20 year electricity distribution concession since March 2005. President Museveni has expressed his dissatisfaction. The issue “brings back the question of competence and due diligence by government officials and institutions who oversee public trust. It also suggests there are issues of technical and financial competences, and business ethical behaviour by service providers who often take advantage to cheat as they make colossal profits.”
