UGANDA will contest for a council seat on the International Telecommunication Union to represent Africa.

State Minister for ICT Nyombi Tembo disclosed this on Monday while opening a major ITU conference at Speke Resort Munyonyo.

“Our candidature is based on recorded performance, i request the support of your countries,” said Tembo.

There are 13 seats available for Africa.

Fred Otunnu UCC communications manager said the position is a strategic one and Uganda was last represented as a council member between 2002-2006.

“It is like the board of directors, it approves budgets, projects and monitors activities,” said Otunnu.
