Meanwhile,
Rebecca Kadaga the Speaker of parliament has confirmed that she would be
convening the House on Wednesday, July 11 so that Parliament can start a review
on the taxes. Kadaga said that the Student's concern touches on the right of
access to information which is enshrined in the Constitution and further highlighted
in an Act of Parliament.
The
students also condemned the tax on mobile money arguing that often, their
parents use the service to send them upkeep from upcountry. Samuel Obedgiu says
the tax on Mobile Money threatens their livelihood.
Another
section of Mobile Money dealers led by Boaz Byamukama described the new mobile
money tax as not accommodative.
Kadaga
equally assured the mobile money dealers that the taxes are to be discussed
further by parliament on Wednesday.
