In the midst of escalating tensions over the new Electronic Fiscal Receipting and Invoicing System (EFRIS) taxation system, Joseph Kabuleta the National Economic Empowerment Dialogue (NEED) party has cautioned traders not to get their hopes ahead of themselves when meeting President Museveni.
The striking traders under their umbrella body, the Kampala City Traders Association (KACITA) are slated to grind their grievances on Museveni’s tables this Friday.
But Kabuleta, has cautioned the traders against getting ahead of themselves, suggesting that the outcome may not yield significant results.
Kabuleta highlights the existing divisions among traders, exemplified by the mixed responses to the ongoing boycott.
While some have shut down their businesses in protest, others have chosen to continue operations, indicating a lack of unified action within the trading community.
Kabuleta expresses concern that this division may weaken their bargaining power during the anticipated meeting with President Museveni.
Asserting that a change in leadership is imperative for addressing the economic challenges facing Uganda, Kabuleta emphasizes the need for a comprehensive solution beyond temporary measures.
