Aggrey Awori said this would ease work in projects like the business process outsourcing enterprise that would support outsourcing centres to be set up by the government. Awori was speaking at the swearing-in of the new National Information Technology Authority Uganda executive director, James Saaka, at the ICT ministry boardroom.
"We want to change the trend of Kyeyo-seekers. Instead of them going abroad to work for $10 per hour, they will earn $6 or $7 per hour in their country through outsourcing." He added that the Government wants to outpace the cables that were laid by local mobile and telecom service providers such as MTN and Zain. Awori added that all districts in the country will be linked to a national data transmission backbone to support modern technologies like inter-conferencing. He added that connectivity between Kampala and Katuna on the Uganda-Rwanda border would be fast tracked.
The SEACOM cable entered service in July 2009, followed by the TEAMS cable in September. The EASSy cable is due to enter service, with the sub-marine deployment having been completed in April.
