So how does that work?

By Dorrothy Moyo| Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni has torched a storm after he imposed taxes on social media access services.

There was drama all over the country when journalists woke up to the Presidential announcement.

Museveni came into power via a coup in the 80s and has secured power for himself by appointing his own children to senior posts of army and Intelligence agencies. When Robert Mugabe was removed last November, he rushed to change his army generals.

So how will Museveni tax Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp since they are foreign companies?

Below was a reaction by a top Media practitioner

#Journalism #Media There we go again with our gullibility. President Museveni has some proposals. They've not been debated by Cabinet or Parliament. And certainly they're not law. Why do we give him powers he doesn't have? Why are we denying institutions agency? pic.twitter.com/i6tajogQwD
