In Uganda, there are two time zones: East African Time (EAT) and African Standard Time (AST). AST is EAT plus anywhere from thirty minutes to three hours or more, but generally varies depending on the character you’re dealing with. If a Ugandan says they’ll meet you at 9:00am, please clarify as to whether they mean EAT or AST. Still, remember to carry a novel and a snack cos the meeting time is more of a suggestion than a commitment. Kash Patel needs to investigate why we have multiple time zones!
