Ugandan Government's CCTV System: Transparency Concerns Raised

Kampala, Uganda – June 11, 2025 – A recent Sanyuka TV news segment has sparked debate about the Ugandan government's use of CCTV cameras and the Electronic Payment System (EPS). Political commentator Duncan Abigaba questioned the extent of President Museveni's knowledge regarding the EPS, suggesting that he might be primarily aware of the security applications rather than the full financial implications. "I don't think the President knows about the EPS; I believe he's only aware of the security system," Abigaba stated. The segment also highlighted concerns about revenue collection through the camera system, prompting calls for greater transparency in how these funds are managed. The video included visual examples of traffic cameras in operation. While the segment raises important questions, it's crucial to verify the claims made to ensure accuracy and avoid the spread of misinformation. Further investigation into the government's response and the functioning of the EPS is needed to provide a complete picture. The ongoing discussion underscores the need for open communication and accountability in government operations.
