MTN Group CEO meets Museveni on the sidelines of WEF to discuss 'recent developments in the market'

President Kaguta Museveni met with MTN Group CEO Shuter Rob on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos on Wednesday.

The pair's meeting at WEF comes barely a day after the Ugandan government deported three workers of MTN Uganda for threatening national security.

MTN Group said their CEO and Museveni discussed 'recent developments in the market' and reaffirmed their commitment in Uganda.

MTN Uganda's Chief Marketing Manager Olivier Prentout, Sale and Distribution Manager Annie Tabura and General Manager of Mobile Money Elza Muzzolini were deported for using their 'employment as a tool for ill motives'.

The telecom giant issued a statement on Tuesday saying it 'remains fully committeed to operating within and restricting the laws of the country'.

Museveni, 74, arrived in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday to join other world leaders, academic and global thinkers to discuss and shape the global agenda.
