-- Social media platforms in Uganda were temporarily shut down as people started casting their votes on Thursday in the general elections, said authorities.
Social media went offline on Thursday morning for security purposes, said Godfrey Mutabazi, executive director of the Uganda Communications Commission.
Mutabazi, who was speaking to local radio station CBS, did not give any further details.
Police Chief Gen. Kale Kayihura on Wednesday said social media was being abused to create tension during the election.
Over 15.2 million voters will head to the polls Thursday to elect a new president and legislators.
Nadhani Kamanda Kova na wenzake walipowaweka ndani wale vijana wa cdm na tume ya haki za binadamu waliokuwa wanafanya tallying walidhani wanaisaidia nchi lakini tukio hilo linaweza kutuachia aibu ya miaka mingi.
Hebu fikiria nchi kama Uganda ambayo tunadai haina demokrasia hii kitu imeruhusiwa. Sijui ufungwaji wa social media itaathiri vipi hata hivyo ni hatua mbele ikiwa ni pamoja na Museveni mwenyewe kukubali kutokea katika mdaharo.

...... The Electoral Commission okayed political parties and groups to set up parallel tally centre, but warned that it’s the only one with the mandate to declare the eventual winner. The Rev Fr Dr Silvester Arinaitwe Rwomukubwe, UJCC executive secretary, said the Christian churches’ body cannot abdicate its role to shape public opinion on such an important exercise.
“We are not paralleling with them (EC). What we are doing is what we have always done as UJCC. We send our people all over the country to inform us what is taking place out there, the violence, the timing of opening polling stations and what other incidents they may see. Our work is to inform the people here that such and such a thing is happening and can you intervene,” Rev Fr Dr Rwomukubwe said.
“At the same time, they send us the results. We are not allowed by law to say anything before Electoral Commission have announced the results. According to the law, after voting, the EC has 48 hours to release their results. It is immediately after that that our interim report will come out. This comes with the results we have gathered and the processes we have gone through to reach those results.”
Bishop Luwalira appealed to the EC chairman, Dr Badru Kiggundu, to ensure his commission is professional while handling these elections as they “have far-reaching implications on the citizens”. To the candidates, the bishop asked them to accept the EC’s verdict and only seek redress through the courts of law if they don’t agree.
