The launch of the Phone and Computer assembling plant will also reduce the cost of major tech gadgets like mobile phones to Shs 20,000($5.4016) and promote the use of locally ‘Made in Uganda’ phones.

Also, the plant will remove the major cost-push factor for internet failure as it will enable people to afford good mobile devices that are internet enabled.
