For the last two hours, Ugandans and Kenyans have reported slow internet speeds amidst the Finance Bill protests in Kenya which have today reached the climax with protesters over powering police, making their way to parliament which resulted in destruction of property.
According to reports the number of those shot dead by police hasn’t been revealed yet but the situation is still in tense in the neighboring Kenya.
According to Live Internet Monitors, slow internet speeds have affected Uganda, Kenya and Burundi. In Uganda those using MTN have greatly experienced the slow speeds and in Kenya those using Safaricom have experienced the same.
According to a statement released by Safaricom less than an hour ago, the outage is as a result of a cut on two Undersea cables that supply internet to Kenya and beyond. But MTN in Uganda remains silent despite slow internet concerns raised by it’s customers.

Reports had earlier indicated that the government of Kenya had plans to switch off the internet ahead of today’s ill-fated protests but the regulator Communications Authority of Kenya refuted the claims saying government has no such plans.
