Disputes over administration
In 2014, Ugandan Members of Parliament called for an investigation after a revelation that a private firm, Infinity Computers and Communication Company (i3c, formerly known as Computer Frontiers), owned Uganda's top-level Internet domain. During a Finance Committee the MPs pressed ICT minister John Nasasira to explain how the private company came to own the domain, which could endanger national security.http://www.monitor.co.ug/News/National/A-private-firm-owns-Uganda-s-Internet-domain-name/688334-2432378-tsqsh0z/index.html A private firm owns Uganda's Internet domain name – MPs call for Investigation Yasin Mugerwa August 27, 2014 Daily Monitor August 28, 2018 17 February 2020 https://web.archive.org/web/20200217105142/https://www.monitor.co.ug/News/National/A-private-firm-owns-Uganda-s-Internet-domain-name/688334-2432378-tsqsh0z/index.html dead
The MPs resolved to contact the registrar of companies to furnish them with the details of the proprietors of i3c and asked the minister to explain the circumstances under which the company took over the domain.
Unlike countries like China which put restrictions on the domain purchasing process, Uganda ccTLD managers don't put any restriction on who can register domain names.https://campaign.ug/a-step-by-step-guide-to-buying-ugandas-ug-domain-name/ A Step by Step Guide to buying Uganda's .ug Domain Name 2020-02-17 Campaign en-US 2020-02-17 1 October 2020 https://web.archive.org/web/20201001082734/https://campaign.ug/a-step-by-step-guide-to-buying-ugandas-ug-domain-name/ dead
