Interesting story here! (see below) It appears that after the fall of Amin, Kenya demanded Uganda pay KFC over 1 million shs. in settlement of its debt.
This must have been for KFC distributing various films including Hollywood films to cinemas in Uganda. It appears KFC also distributed films on behalf of Anglo American Film Distributors, the only other distributor allowed to operate in Kenya. While AAFD had rights to 20th Century Fox, United Artists, and Disney films, KFC had rights to Paramount, Columbia and Universal films.
While at Regal Cinema, Mombasa we never viewed KFC and AAFD as neo colonial firms?! People loved films! This was just business. KFC was a successful government owned entity!
