Government officials gave away 200 tablets to people living near the border. The devices went to residents of Mpondwe-Lhubiriha Town Council during a special ceremony. Minister Godfrey Baluku Kabbyanga pushed for the tablet giveaway to help rural communities access technology. The handover happened at Bwera Primary Teachers' College with students and local leaders present. Uganda Communications Commission helped make the donation possible.
Kabbyanga told recipients these tablets could change their lives for the better. He wants people to use them for checking government information and talking with others. The minister stressed that technology should work for everyone across Uganda. Border areas often struggle with poor internet connections and limited access to digital tools. Officials hope these devices will help close the technology gap between cities and remote areas.
Young people seemed most excited about receiving the new tablets. Swizin Mbusa from Bwera Secondary School said students could use them for online learning. Local youth leader Sadadi Baluku praised the government for supporting young residents. He believes the tablets will help people stay informed about important issues. The devices should make it easier for communities to participate in government programs.
This tablet program connects to Uganda's bigger plan for digital growth through 2040. Officials want to improve online government services and rural internet access. The project shows how technology can reach people living far from major cities. Community members can monitor local services and hold leaders accountable using these tools. The initiative demonstrates government commitment to digital equality across the country.
