@m3sophh Thank you! Could you say "simply punch his name into uber" in other words? I still don't get it. This "punch" means like "inscribe" or something, right?

@meg I think "punch it into" is used to type something into a technology. But it is an informal expression. For example:
"punch it into google to get an answer." (type it into google to get an answer)
"I punched the location into google maps." (I put the location into google maps.)

Additionally, I think the overall sentence is used to say that he is very casual person. I think it is uncommon to have your address easily accessible on uber.

What does To find the most famous musician in Uganda, simply punch his name into uber. mean? See a translation

Sorry what is the context? I don't really understand it

Okay. I think it does mean Uber. The politician, who they are talking about in the article, is also a musician. I think it is just an expressive way of introducing the politican since it is journalism.
