Economists urge gov't to review competition act
An economist and head of the Federation of SMEs in Uganda, says the coming of Chinatown is not a threat to businesses and could be a marketing gimmick but warns government needs to review the current Competition Act, recently assented to by the president of Uganda in February, which he says does not give enough authority to the appointed committee in the trade ministry to preside over cases of unfair competition, if the said party is a manufacturer of the same products on the shelves of the huge store.
