The story of Ron Kawamara, Uganda’s ‘father’ of e-commerce  The story of e-commerce in Uganda, in its truest sense, can never be complete or perhaps even start without the name Ron Kawamara. He left Uganda in his early teens to get a good education in the United States and then the United Kingdom. Once he had secured the knowledge, he came back home to start vending food- but on the internet. That was in 2014. Eight years later, he has now bloomed into a tech and hospitality entrepreneur you can bank on. And the e-commerce dream continues to unfurl.
