Regulating the use of smartphones, Is this possible? The Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) has been asked to regulate the use of smartphones in the country. The outcry follows a new trend in behaviour that has degenerated social ties and relationships “because everyone is seemingly busy on their smartphone.” Pastor Martin Ssempa, the founder of the Makerere Community Church, said the era of smartphones, which brings with it the “corrupt” influence of the western culture, is killing that which was good in Africa — morals. “Everywhere you go, it is smartphones. At home, the parents don’t have quality time with their children. The children are on WhatsApp. The parents are on Linkedin. You find two people are on a date, and the woman is on Facebook, and the man is on Twitter. UCC needs to come and regulate the use of these smartphones,” Ssempa said at the Family Life Network function in Kampala. Via New Vision.
