hello there, iam writing to send out my argument to the government. why is it that the policy implementers not not consider stakeholders to issues like this one? i am a phone dealer with a very big stock and ever since the UCC came out to announce the blockage of chinese phones we barely sale anything,we have constant factors to spend on like rent,bank loans,employees e.t.c. we were not warned before not to stock and in actual sense these so-called fake phones are imported through borders were the standards unit would be responsible for restricting their entry but instead taxed and now this. What is a common low income earner Ugandan has to do about this? Many speechless Ugandans are suffering the decisions of people who sit in their offices and wait adopt what has happened in the neibourhood. I am a concerned ugandan KKB
