The Ugandan government in its continued desire to deny its citizens the right to social communication and info sharing has set and implementéd a Tax dubbed the OTT TAX in order for an individual to access social media and the internet in General. The tax is a 200 UGX paid daily by every simcard subscriber given that an average ugandan owns atleast two simcards making its 200 UGX daily.
This Petition seeks to attract public attention, world wide and raise awareness worldwide and assist the Ugandan citizens i forcing their government in reversing this deficion
This tax is a constraint to freedom of expression. It ignores and it is in contravention with Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights 1948 which states that the fundamental right of freedom of expression encompasses the freedom to seek,receive and impact information and ideas through any media regardless of frontiers.

This is not just tax but censorship of the Internet and access to information hence abuse of one of the fundamental human rights.
