This paper evaluates the conceptual parameters, statutory mechanics, and practical feasibility of the "Right to be Forgotten" (RTBF) in the Republic of Uganda. Anchored in the fundamental right to privacy guaranteed under Article 27 of the Constitution of Uganda, 1995, and operationalized primarily through the Data Protection and Privacy Act, Cap 97, the Ugandan model of data erasure presents a distinct legal framework. Unlike the expansive European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) model, the Ugandan formulation tightly binds erasure rights to concepts of inaccuracy, unlawfulness, and expiration of retention authority under Section 16 of the Data Protection and Privacy act Cap 97 and Section 28 of the Data Protection and Privacy act Cap 97. Drawing on comparative legal jurisprudence from the United Kingdom and India this paper outlines the systemic friction between informational erasure and constitutional guarantees of freedom of expression and access to information. It concludes with pragmatic policy recommendations for the Personal Data Protection Office (PDPO) to bridge the gap between statutory mandates and digital reality in East Africa.
