Airtel Uganda has renewed its partnership with Buganda kingdom's K2 Telecom. The partnership which started in August 2018, saw the integration of K2 customers into the Airtel fold under the number ranges 708 and 709. K2 subscribers have full access to Airtel’s range of services including voice, data and mobile money services.
During the relaunch at Bulange in Mengo last week, Airtel Uganda managing director Manoj Murali said, “we are culturally aware of Uganda’s diversity and by joining with Buganda kingdom on this partnership, we recognize the role played by partners like you in developing the communities we both love to serve. We are humbled to utilize this partnership, on our 100 per cent 4G network, as a vehicle for us to give back to the community we serve.”
In his remarks, the vice chairman K2 Telecom Michael Kawooya Mwebe said “The kingdom of Buganda is proud of the role played by Airtel and its great contribution towards the social and economic development of Buganda and the country as whole.”
Katikkiro of Buganda Charles Peter Mayiga who was the chief guest said “We are pleased to witness the rebirth of the Airtel K2 telecom which will enable customers on the Airtel K2 platform to make calls, access internet as well as send and receive money in Uganda and beyond. I thank Airtel for identifying the Kingdom as the route to market. I will do everything possible in my powers to ensure this partnership benefits Airtel K2 and Buganda.”
