Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni said on Tuesday that he had a “productive meeting” with the representatives of tech billionaire Elon Musk’s Starlink, which is looking to establish a presence in the country.

A unit of SpaceX, the satellite internet company is rapidly expanding its services on the African continent and is already live in more than a dozen countries. It was granted licences by Somalia and Lesotho earlier this month.
