MTN Uganda has appointed Gordian Kyomukama, currently chief technology officer, as acting chief executive officer.

This follows the confirmation from MTN that Wim Vanhelleputte, CEO of MTN Uganda, has been deported from Uganda.

MTN said it has received any notification on the reasons for the deportation and is working hard to establish precise reasons for the deportation.

“We are concerned about these developments and are engaging with the authorities to seek understanding that would lead us to resolving this matter,” MTN said.
