China To Invest in Information Technology in Uganda

By Kato Mivule

China is reported to be set to invest 75 Million US Dollars in Uganda with a large portion going towards Information Technology according to Ugandan Press...
In Uganda earlier this week, Yang signed agreements on foreign assistance totaling about $75 million, the largest portion for information technology projects. Ugandan Foreign Minister Sam Kutesa said the countries have also discussed construction of a railway line from Uganda to neighboring southern Sudan.

Interesting move by China not only to maneuver politically in competition for Africa's Rich Mineral resources but China seems bet at having a say at the flow of information in Africa...especially when it comes to reporting China's "dealings" in Africa...
