KAMPALA, Uganda — MTN Uganda on Friday introduced the Kabode Supa smartphone, offering a new pathway to digital access through an affordable “Mola Mola” (slowly slowly) device financing scheme. The company announced that customers can acquire the smartphone with an initial payment of 45,000 Ugandan shillings and then pay the remaining balance through daily installments not exceeding 1,000 shillings, or through weekly and monthly payment options.
