Daily Monitor Wednesday April 28 2021 MTN had been challenging a levy that was instituted by UCC as transitional licence charge from October 21, 2018 and June 30, 2020. PHOTO/FILE Summary In a letter dated July 22, 2020, UCC directed MTN to pay licence fee for the transitional period between October 21, 2018 and June 30, 2020 worth $14.14m. However, MTN challenged the directive in court. Advertisement Court has dismissed with costs, a case in which MTN was challenging the legality of the Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) directive to pay $14.14m (more than Shs50.7b) as transition licence fee for the three year transitional period. High Court Judge Musa Ssekaana ruled that there was no impropriety in UCC’s decision to impose transition fees based on a pro-rated assessment and that the same was fairly arrived at and guided by the amount paid for of $100m in the currently renewed licence.
