He said he has been acquiring MTN pulse internet bundles from the service provider for a while now. This, therefore, led him to discover how he and many others might be cheated by MTN.
He revealed that when he buys the MTN pulse 2.6 GB, they instead give him only 2gb.
“For one to have these bundles you dial *175# and yes and then continue. One of the bundles is 2.6gb for 5000 and it’s valid for 3 days, but these thugs give you instead 2gb,” he said.
He further revealed that MTN Uganda will send you a confirmation message that you have loaded 2.6gb.
“But because they are cheating, they don’t show the balance when you use the normal procedure of checking your balance. You can only use another procedure of 175*2*3# if you want to check your pulse bundle balance,” he added.
He said the logic in this is that a few people will bother to check through the long process while some may not know how to.
He, therefore, concluded that Uganda Communications Commission should investigate how much money Ugandans are losing.
“How did I know it? I loaded the 2.6gb data and immediately checked the balance when my data was not connected, and the message they sent to me was that I had 2gb,” Muhimbise lamented.
He advised Ugandans to expose this bad vice of cheating by sharing his message.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
