Uganda security agencies are finding it hard to tap Chinese lutyer chip phones. A senior source in security intimated to us that the Chinese are not so cooperative. After Uganda made a law that allows the government to tap phones, the Chinese made their lutyer chip phones and installed in them the devices that make it difficult for the government to record peoples’ conversations.

People buy a Chinese made phone with lutyer chip-set technology and they change IMEI numbers. So whenever one makes a call tracing it or listening in is next to impossible.

Other people forward calls, buy another country number say Australia, Nigeria, Somalia, USA and they forward all incoming calls to that number. They give this number to their sensitive people so that they call him/her using that number. All calls from the forwarded number will be encrypted and the Uganda government will never know the number that called someone or were they called from. Some of the technologies the Chinese have developed since Uganda started tapping peoples’ phones changes country log for any incoming call.
