COURTESY OF NILE POST
A cabinet meeting sitting at State House in Entebbe on Monday has cleared trade order enforcement operations to resume around the country.
Addressing journalists today, Minister for Local Government, Raphael Magyezi said while these enforcement operations had been halted to allow for consultations, cabinet gave a green light for the resumption.
The minister said there was halting of the enforcement after Pentecostal and born-again churches as well traders’ associations petitioned government seeking for more time to prepare themselves.
Magyezi however noted that cabinet sitting on Monday agreed that the enforcement ought to continue to avoid negating the gains. The minister however said they are to step up community sensitization to ensure everyone is on board.
According to the Minister for Local Government, the trade order enforcement will ensure relocation of traders to formal and designated trading spaces, especially those on streets, walkways, verandas, back streets and corridors.
