Uganda security agencies raided the data centre of telecommunications giant in Kampala in what appears to be an operation to counter alleged security surveillance on behalf of a foreign government, sources say.
The heads of security agencies are evasive about the motive of the operation, only opting to deflect inquires at each other, although some have admitted that indeed the data centre which is manned by Huawei Uganda Ltd, an MTN contractor, was raided.
