Barungi said that the ban on mobile phones takes immediate effect.
He said that no staff unless permitted to do so, “shall be allowed to carry his or her personal phones or other devices to their work stations.”
He warned that those found in breach of the restriction shall be subjected to disciplinary action.

The two are yet to come out publically to announce the development.
