REVERSAL OF MOBILE MONEY TRANSACTIONS
Let me use this space to comment on the concerns we're telco operators have failed to make a swift reversal of mobile money transaction sent to a wrong party. I will begin by stating the regulatory regime of the mobile money service. Important to note and many may know by now that Mobile Money is a co-regulated service, where the Bank of Uganda (BoU) has oversight over the financial aspects of the service and the Commission @UCC_Official regulates the communication platforms on which the service is delivered.

The Communication's sector is undergoing changes & we need to think about how OTTs affect us now and in the future.
