The 2004 Uganda Broadcasting Corporation Act stated that the UBC should be funded by the levying of a television licence fee.[18] Collection of a licence fee set at USh20,000 (around €8.40 or US$10.80) started in 2005.[18] However, collection was subsequently halted by President Yoweri Museveni.[18] There has since been pressure to reinstate the licence fee to maintain UBC's independence.[18]
