President Yoweri Museveni's staffers at State House are in the final stages of procuring technology that could enable the government to break a billion-dollar mushrooming telecom fraud and also eavesdrop on international calls, The Independent reports exclusively.
The technology, called an Intelligent Network Monitoring/verification System (INMS), will cost the Ugandan taxpayer between $20-30 million (Shs. 66 billion--99 billion) and is expected to, for the first time, enable the country monitor the volume and billing of voice and data traffic of telecoms.
Procurement of the technology started in the early 2000s. At the time, different companies were being pushed by different brokers in cabinet. Sam Kutesa, the current Foreign Affairs Minister was pushing for one of the companies, one of the president's son-in-laws, another.
