Museveni scraps Murchison park fees on non-tourist travellers
President Yoweri Museveni has ordered agencies in charge of national parks to waive charges for non-tourist travelers transiting through Murchison Falls National Park to and from northern Uganda, following the closure of Karuma Bridge, which is under rehabilitation. Museveni issued the directive on Friday during his meeting with members of the NRM Parliamentary Caucus at State House Entebbe. This follows a standoff between some MPs from northern Uganda and West Nile with Uganda Wildlife officials over the fees.
