The government has intensified its efforts to clamp down on car dealers who import vehicles that are not roadworthy and fail to meet the required standards for use in the country.
The drive is being led by the Uganda National Bureau of Standards,UNBS, the agency responsible for the quality of goods imported into the country. Speaking on the matter, UNBS Eng. Pinson Baguma has issued a stern warning, stating that this time, the Bureau is taking a firm stand.
Eng. Baguma was speaking at a training session for car dealers at the Lugogo Showgrounds in Kampala. He emphasised that the law is clear and that the grace period for compliance is over, reiterating a ban on the importation of dilapidated vehicles.
