MTN confirms that Wim Vanhelleputte, the CEO of MTN Uganda has been deported from Uganda. MTN has not been notified of the grounds for the deportation and is working hard to establish precise reasons for the deportation.

We are understandably concerned about these developments and are engaging with the authorities to seek understanding that would lead us to resolving this matter.

To ensure business continuity, we have appointed Mr Gordian Kyomukama, currently Chief Technology Officer, as Acting Chief Executive. Our focus continues to be on delivering the best quality products and services to our customers.

MTN Uganda is fully committed to respecting and operating within the laws of the country.
