MTN’s General Manager of Corporate Services, Anthony Katamba, has been fired.
Katamba has been the general manager of corporate services since January 2003.
Sources told Watchdog Uganda that Katamba threatened the company CEO, Wim Vanhelleputte and refused to write a resignation letter.
“He crossed the line when he said the CEO would also be deported like three other former MTN honchos,” the source said.
Last month, two MTN Uganda officials were arrested and deported for allegedly getting involved in acts aimed at compromising the Country’s national security.
They included Chief Marketing Officer Olivier Prentout, a French national and the MTN General Manager for Sales and Distribution, Anne Tambura.
Elsa Mussolini, the head of Mobile Money was deported almost a day after Prentout and Tambura were evicted.
Reports indicate that Katamba was told by MTN South Africa that “renewal of his contract was joined on his ability to secure renewal of MTN Uganda’s license.
