Government suspends nationwide enforcement of trade order, Minister Bahati tells Parliament

State Minister for Industry David Bahati told Parliament that the government had suspended enforcement of the trade order across the country to allow further consultations after public complaints, and said it had apologised to religious leaders over the conduct of some enforcement teams. MPs including Solomon Silwany, Ibrahim Ssemujju Nganda and Jonathan Odur raised concerns about kiosks and goods removed during enforcement and asked whether affected traders would be supported.
