this is higher than the daily average of 100 cars for the same period in the last 3 yeahs. the tax body sees that many traders of russia korea all the earlier imported order because before the end of the grace period this december 1st we thought because we had been forced to abandon importation of is because of the effect of their revenues but surprisingly we have seen an increase in the increase in those who have been attributed to they did. because it expires this month so people want people who had imported so many cars and they were. in mumbai and wanted warehouses . in individual hands so people want to clear so that they beat it into them so that effective next year they are not affected by by the by some ugandans now fear that's the high cost of the new york could be shifted to passengers and push transport fares up but the government maintains that the ban is well thought out in

the public interest to benefit all ugandans and the environment. doesn't really joining us sent us that report and joins us now from kampala julie is this is a classic example of unintended consequences is it not is this a bad lol. well this argument has a the sedes and this low was highly criticized especially when you were when it was in parliament the government hide its basis saying that old cars they meet a lot of carbon and they have a high maintenance cost and they are known for causing road accidents but there was a very heated debate in parliament some members who oppose this bill say they are more than 10000 jobs that were being risk but the government had the numbers and hard its reasons much more stronger than those that opposed it so we come to some people much as it's a low they still oppose it but it's already existing and it has to apply a canvas law between it's to make more sense for the business on

a small businesses very much depend on their cars on the sale of those. i don't think a question of tweaking dutch law exists at the moment because i had the conversation with the uganda revenue authority much as for them they say they just implemented what the parliament brings to them and what they're implementing now the same they're committed at pushing for the law there's not been any signs of tweaking this slow and not what ugandans of good to do now is perhaps not just the a business strategies and not just the a business planning to see that they can embrace the law but going back to parliament may not be an option for now but who knows it could go back but not any sign as been shown yet. do is how our ordinary ugandan passengers who commutes to work how are they affected they are already worried they are concerned that suddenly when these numbers go high the numbers of affording in

your car they invest as a very likely the people who invest in public transport they are likely to put that course now on the passengers they're likely to charge they march more than watch the avoid is paid for because now they want to recover their costs and this is likely to push their transport fares way above the roof and that concern also feeds into the idea that the government has not shown any interest of putting forward any incentives actually was noting that actually when you're in uganda you pay much more tax to buy a newer car than than an old car so there is no we do not see any way that these prices for new cars are going to go down and passengers are concerned that those numbers are likely to be shifted in the transport finance. in a compound thank you very much. germany is in desperate need to fill vacant positions in many of the economy's most important
