From Kahuma’s corruption probes to Ebiru’s bribery confession and Kasigwa’s contested leadership, the Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS) has spent more time battling itself than enforcing quality. For over…
In a dramatic twist at the Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS), Trade Minister Francis Mwebesa has rescinded his earlier directive that sent Executive Director Eng. James N. Kasigwa on forced…

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has revealed that Uganda is losing $50 million through importing refined sugar to use in factories for production of soft drinks and medicines among other uses and described Uganda’s first Sugar Industrial plant at Kinyara Sugar Ltd as a step in the right direction. The President is optimistic that once production increases, Uganda’s refined sugar will have a ready market both locally and throughout East Africa whose demand for industrial sugar is 150,000 metric tons. “I will negotiate with these East African countries to buy our industrial sugar. And for us here we’re going to put…
