PINNACLE SECURITY LTD APPLAUDS MTNMOMO FOR PARTNERSHIP IN COLLECTING TOLL FEES AT KEE-UG.

By Musa Rwamigoye 

On Friday, September 25, 2026, at the Kajjansi Toll Plaza, Ministry of Works and Transport launched MTN MoMo to motorists as an alternative to cash and the existing UPESI/NFC card system.

Ministry of Works and Transport partnerned with MTN MoMo to introduce mobile-money payments at the toll gates.

 

The new system of MTN MoMo payment at KEE_UG is intended to reduce reliance on cash and make toll payments faster for motorists using modern road of Kampala Entebbe Express to Airport. The MoMo arrangement will operate on lanes 4 and 5 at the Busega, Kajjansi and Mpala toll plazas have been designated for Mobile Money toll payments.

 

The Ministry said the initiative is an interim measure as Uganda moves towards a wider Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) system designed to make toll payments increasingly cashless.

Eng. Dr. Timothy Tibesigwa, Acting Engineer-in-Chief at the Ministry of Works and Transport, said the new system is aimed at improving convenience and efficiency for motorists.

 

“The Kampala-Entebbe Expressway is a vital artery of Uganda’s transport network, and as usage grows, we must continue to find ways of making the experience more efficient and convenient for road users,” Tibesigwa said. 

He also said mobile-money payments represent the first phase in the transition towards the broader electronic toll collection system.

The Ministry also plans to introduce more digital features, including pre-payments, pre-classification and self-service options, as the tolling system is modernised.

 

The Kampala Entebbe Express operators, Pinnacle Security Limited applauded the partnership of MoMo pay on its X page and said.

Pinnacle Security Limited officially took full prime operational control and started directly managing toll collections on the Kampala–Entebbe Expressway (KEE) in May 2026, following the expiration of the previous contract held by the French firm Egis Road Operations.

 

Long before the complete handover, Pinnacle Security Ltd had been serving as subcontractors of Egis at expressway since January 2022 when tolling operations first commenced

Pinnacle Security Limited was in charge of supplying ground toll collectors, providing security, and patrolling the highway while Egis managed the core technology.

 

After Egis exited the prime contract upon its expiration, the Ministry of Works and Transport formally transferred/novated the operations and maintenance agreement directly to Pinnacle Security Ltd under a one-year arrangement.
