THE MOMENT THE LEGENDS TOOK THE STAGE, TIME STOOD STILL. The unforgettable voices that defined Kadongo Kamu lit up the night with their stunning performances, bringing back memories and tugging at our heartstrings. It really reminded us why this beloved genre is such an integral part of Uganda’s story. As those classic tunes filled the air, the crowd joined in as one, celebrating not just the music but the deep cultural roots that keep inspiring new generations. It wasn’t just a show; it was a heartfelt tribute to the trailblazers whose sounds still resonate throughout the nation. It felt like we were all part of something bigger, connecting through the magic of music.

IMAGINE A UGANDA WHERE THE VOICES THAT TOLD OUR STORIES FALL SILENT FOREVER. We won’t let it fade away. With the Atakulaaba Heritage Music Initiative, @UCC_Official is reviving the vibrant spirit of Kadongo Kamu. We're not just saving songs; we’re preserving the incredible stories that come with them, digitising this precious legacy, and opening up new doors for the legends who’ve shaped our national identity. It’s all about protecting memories, sparking inspiration in the younger generation, and making sure the heartbeat of Uganda's rich culture keeps resonating well into the future.

Eeeh! Hannington @Cadrehannington That’s a lot of pressure on me, Boss! URA is made up of dedicated people who give their all to the country. I was lucky to be part of that team. If I had that much influence, I would’ve left behind auto-filling tax returns!😄 Much respect to my buddies in the @URAuganda family. The work goes on, and so does the impact!

Dear Hasheem @PenaniH78110 I totally get how frustrating it can be to work for what feels like forever without seeing the commission you allegedly deserve. So, here’s the deal: when it comes to unpaid commissions with MTN Mobile Money, this is mainly a contractual issue between you and MTN. In Uganda, the Bank of Uganda oversees Mobile Money services and agents. They actually require providers to pay their agents and have some kind of process for when things go wrong. First up, I’d recommend you reach out to MTN Uganda through their official customer care or agent support channels and file a formal complaint. Make sure to get a reference number since that’ll help you track any follow-ups. If you’ve already done that and things are still at a standstill, then it’s time to step it up. Gather your complaint reference number, the amount of commission you’re chasing, any transaction records that back you up, and any chats you’ve had with MTN and escalate your issue to the Bank of Uganda @BOU_Official since they’re the main regulators for payment systems. Just a heads-up: while @UCC_Official handles communications services and infrastructure, disputes like these don’t really fall under their authority. It’s usually the Bank of Uganda that handles these types of issues. I really hope MTN Mobile Money @mtnug takes your complaint seriously and gets back to you with a clear answer or whatever payment you’re owed. Thanks for bringing this up, and fingers crossed it all gets sorted out soon!
