The Kampala City Traders Association has emphatically refused the pleas made by the honorable minister for Kampala City Metropolitan Affairs and the commander of military police, Minsa Kabanda, and Brigadier General Binomugisha William, standing resolute in their decision to resume their strike next week.
Kampala City traders, who have been engaged in a strike for the past week, have shown remarkable unity in their refusal to yield to the pleas put forth by the minister. Their resilience has become a symbol of their unwavering dedication to their cause as they firmly stand their ground.
Despite the minister’s efforts to find common ground, these traders remain steadfast in their cause, ready to make their voices heard once again.
However, the traders, driven by their convictions, have chosen to reject these pleas, highlighting their commitment to achieving their demands.
The minister, recognizing the economic impact of the strike and the challenges faced by both the traders and the general public, had appealed to the traders to put an end to the strike and engage in constructive dialogue.
In conclusion, their decision to resume the strike is not a mere act of defiance but rather a powerful statement of the traders’ determination to bring about the changes they believe are necessary.
