trade, education, and innovation, it needs a strong, reliable network. Today, we are proud to announce five new network sites that will improve coverage, enhance call clarity, and provide faster internet speeds for our customers in this region," Muthayi said.

Speaking at the launch of the sites, Kedress Mutabazi, the Kabale Municipality Deputy Mayor who represented the Chairman LC5 said “I thank Airtel Uganda for thinking about the people of Kabale and expanding the network to support the growing economic activity. We have known Airtel for being affordable but the network was a challenge and for finally thinking about this and fixing it, I applaud you”
