Lagos (CNN) The Ugandan government has imposed taxes on social media to raise money for the country and to avoid donor aid, a lawmaker told CNN.
Ugandans will have to cough up 200 Ugandan shillings ($0.05) a day to use popular platforms like Twitter, Facebook and WhatsApp.
President Museveni, who has ruled the country since 1986, is reported in local media as saying that social media encourages gossip. Parliamentary spokesman Chris Obore defended the law which comes into effect July 1, saying that as more Ugandans use social media it should become an important source of revenue for the country.
"The government is trying not to over rely on donor funding. It is just a redistributive tax as the government is out to look for money from those who have to finance projects," Obore told CNN.
He added: "The tax is very small. 200 shillings (50 cents) in Uganda to a dollar is very negligible. People in Uganda will not find it too expensive."
However, many Ugandans on social media see the tax as a government crackdown on free speech.
Reuters reported the tax would be implemented through mobile phone operators on individual SIM cards used to access social media.
The Collaboration on International ICT Policy in East and Southern Africa (CIPESA) published a report in 2016 that argued that the Ugandan government was stifling digital rights.
Over two million Ugandans are active on Facebook, according to official figures. This new tax comes as neighboring country Tanzania recently introduced a controversial fee of $930 on bloggers and online publishers, a decision that is being challenged by local activists in court.
In Kenya, President Uhuru Kenyatta signed a cybercrimes bill, that criminalizes the publication of fake news and imposes heavy fines and a two-year jail term for those found guilty, despite pressure from international media rights group to stop it.
I Dayo O. Davies being a young Video Director, yesterday for the first time in my life I saved a guy from KIDNAPPERS that claimed to be SARS/IMMIGRATION officers. Arriving at Lekki Phase one, I saw a young guy being dragged by two men which I confidently stopped, introduced myself as a Media Press and asked them what the young guy has done for him to deserve this kind of treatment because this guy was being slapped, kicked and dragged seriously wanting to force him into a commercial bus (DANFO). The guy answered that he didn’t do anything, he explained that he was stopped by these men and they asked him for his ID card which he provided and the next thing was for them to start slapping him telling him that he is not a NIGERIAN. Immediately, I challenged these men to let me see their own ID cards to be sure they are SARS/IMMIGRATION officers, but they could not! As i noticed they could not identify themselves, I started calling attentions and people gathered up immediately only for us to find out that these men are not who they claimed they were. As they left, people that resides in that area made us understand that they are KIDNAPPERS. Like @lasiselenu said which i also believe in, that with #ONEVOICE, NIGERIA can be a better place and there will be a REVOLUTION. People that have power to speak please speak, if you pretend not to see people in trouble one day it will be your turn.
This is a new way of KIDNAPPING people o. Nigerians, please be careful of these faces o, they are KIDNAPPERS, anyone that stops you on the road and ask you to enter the BUS that they are SARS or Immigration officers, please confirm they are genuine Government workers, else CALL FOR HELP!!!
A man identified as Paul Achegbulu has been arrested by the Lagos State Police Command for running an illegal blood bank in the Bariga area of the state.
Mrbehave: My relationship with her is one and a half year and we are to get married by the end of this year. The problem here is that am only two years older than her which so many people complained that the age gap is too small that she will get older than me very soon, infact some thought that she is older than me.Our height are thesame and we are not short.
The man who married her friend who is two years younger than her is five years older than me.The boy friends of all her mates and friends are much older than I am.
My uncle who is a pastor advised me that he doesn't want me to be involved in extra marital affairs base on the fact that my fiancee will grow older than me and might loose interest in sex due to aging.
The problem here is that I engaged her early this year but right now I don't have single love for her that even when I travelled I don't want to come back soon cos i never missed her.This my fiancee started a relationship with a guy at the age of 15.The guy deflowered her at teen age, promised her marriage and dumped her after 8 years of being with her and married another girl and now is me her dreamed man who wants to leave her again, so difficult.I have never had sex with her, was only involved in a French kiss with her and sucking of her boobs.
When I started friending her I told my family that it was GOD who spoke to me to friend her just to gain there approval, can you see the confusion here? We live in thesame street with her just three houses between my house and hers and her mother advised that we should never let anything come between us as it may affect the both families due to the closeness.
So many were happy for her for finding me as I am the right man according to them since I have never been laid and I am 28.
I don't just know what happened I felt unattracted to her and lost interest in her and this has been happening for 8 months now but I hid it because seeing what happened in her past relationship I became afraid.
I cried and cried, prayed to GOD to make her loose interest in me but to no avail.The dowry will be paid this month, I don't like it but my hands are tied.
During the engagement my pastor and church elders were present and they endorsed it.
I don't have any problem with her just the issue of age and zero love that I have for her. She fainted several time because of her last break up, hmm am afraid.Please am tired I want a break up but I don't know how.
You are a mad man.....And may Sango thunder strike you
