Following World Bank guidelines, the Government of Uganda adopts a policy of privatising and liberalising most of the government owned parastatal entities in Uganda.
KATS plays a leading role in this process. For instance, it advises on the privatisation of Uganda Posts and Telecommunications Corporation (UPTC), at the time, the sole telecommunications parastatal, into three distinct entities.
The offshoots are: Uganda Telecom Limited, Uganda Communications Commission and Post Bank.
Later, KATS advises the Government on the issuing of the Second National Operators license to MTN (Uganda) Ltd, which has since grown into the largest telecom company in Uganda.
