Uganda backlash over business bailouts

Focus on Africa

Available for over a year

Plans by the Ugandan government to bailout distressed companies to the tune of more than $400 million have sparked a backlash. The figure is roughly the same as the country's health budget. There has been lots of criticism from the public, including suggestions that it is a hand-out for those close to the government. However, President Yoweri Museveni says it is important to support businesses which contribute to the economy. 麻豆社 Africa's Catherine Byaruhanga reports. (Photo: Ham Shopping Mall, Makerere.
