Heavy Taxes a Hindrance, to Business and Economic Freedom in Uganda

A mere increase in taxes per unit of power automatically increases the costs of operation and goods produced. Uganda currently has 850 megawatts (MW) of installed capacity of which approximately 645 MW is hydro and 101.5 MW is thermal generating capacity. This implies that the power generated can satisfy the local demand and at a low cost. Today, internet has become an essential necessity if at all Uganda is to enjoy the digital technology. However, the high taxes on internet data has proved this to be a myth.
