The meeting between President Museveni and city traders, which was scheduled to take place on June 20th, 2024, has been postponed.

This was revealed by the leaders of traders following a meeting with the President held at State House, Entebbe, yesterday.

However, the Chairperson of the Kampala City Traders Association (KACITA), Dr. Thadeus Musoke, and John Kabanda, the Chairman of the Federation of Uganda’s Traders Associations (FUTA), said in a joint statement that they have agreed with President Museveni to reschedule the meeting that was meant to take place this Thursday at Kololo ceremonial grounds to July 31st, 2024.

According to a press statement issued by State House, the postponement is also to allow both sides to do thorough research on the subject matter so that they can come up with a final resolution to end a long-standing dispute over Uganda Revenue Authority’s (URA) Electronic Fiscal Receipting and Invoicing Solution (EFRIS).

In addition to the above, this was meant to be a follow-up meeting. The president first met the traders in a general meeting at Kololo Ceremonial Grounds on May 7, 2024, where they raised concerns over challenges they face as they carry out their businesses.

In conclusion, let’s pray that the President of Uganda fulfills the trader’s needs for a better Uganda.
