MTN- Uganda has Tuesday afternoon sacked its General Manager of Corporate Services, Anthony Katamba, TrumpetNews has reliably learnt.
Katamba held many positions including Head of Legal and Communications before rising through the ranks as one of the powerful Ugandans at the Telecom company.
He has worked at the telecommunications facility for close to two decades.
Katamba’s woes began when three of MTN foreign workers were repatriated by Ugandan authorities on grounds that they had breached national security and therefore deemed a threat.
Olivier Prentout a French national headed of marketing and Anne Tabura from Rwanda who headed sales and distribution were the first to be deported and later followed BY Elsa Mussolini an Italian who later told her workmates that she was accused of funding Bobi Wine.
Mussolini was overseeing mobile money at the company.
Earlier on Tuesday evening, an online publication, Watchdog indicated that Katamba had vowed to mastermind the deportation of MTN CEO, Wim Vanhelleputte.
“He crossed the line when he said the CEO would also be deported like three other former MTN honchos,” Watchdog reported.
When this website contacted a source he confirmed to us, that Katamba was shown exit.
“He has vowed to fight and deport more expatriates in Uganda,” a source said without divulging more details.
No MTN official could be reached by the time of filing this report.
TrumpetNews will bring you more details of this report.
The development comes at a time when President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni halted renewal of MTN contract.
He further directed the mother company in South Africa MTN-Group to sell stake to NSSF.
