A City of Harare worker got a parking ticket after a video showed the person parked badly. The municipal vehicle sat at a weird angle and blocked part of the road. The driver could not do parallel parking right and gave up trying. City officials said the worker must pay the fine with personal money.
People filmed the marked government car sticking out into traffic. The vehicle looked like someone tried to squeeze into a tight spot but failed. Social media users made jokes about the poor parking skills. One person said parallel parking takes courage and practice.
Citizens asked why the car was not clamped like regular vehicles would be. Many wanted to see the actual ticket as proof. They questioned if government workers follow the same...

Traffic officers steal money from motorcycle taxi drivers across Kampala every single day. Police take keys away from riders and demand cash payments before returning motorcycles. Officers ignore proper legal procedures and create fear among working people trying to earn money. Drivers pay between 30,000 and 100,000 shillings just to keep working each day.

Motorcycle taxi drivers carry millions of people around Uganda's capital city during traffic jams. Most riders cannot afford proper licenses or safety equipment required under traffic laws. Police use these violations as reasons to demand bribes instead of issuing official tickets. Officers make...
Uganda faces a deadly road crisis that kills 13 people daily who walk on streets. Police records show over 1,675 pedestrians died during 2023 and numbers keep rising. Kampala leads the country for traffic accidents and dangerous roads. Cars park illegally everywhere and force walkers into moving traffic. Poor planning and weak law enforcement create deadly conditions for everyone.
Drivers abandon vehicles on busy streets for hours despite laws against such behavior. The Road Act of 2019 requires removal of unattended cars after two hours but authorities ignore violations. Parked taxis and private cars block walkways and narrow roads throughout the city. Pedestrians must walk around vehicles directly into paths of speeding motorcycles...

The Uganda Revenue Authority expects all firms to calculate their taxes correctly under the self-assessment system. About 800,000 registered companies fall into three categories based on their size and revenue. Missing deadlines brings penalties and unwanted government attention.

Uganda's government approved a budget worth 72.3 trillion shillings for the coming year. The spending plan grew larger during election season when politicians spend more money. Leaders gave huge amounts to popular programs that help them win votes. Private businesses received only 4.5 billion shillings compared to over one trillion for political projects. The gap shows how elections change government priorities.
Government borrowing takes up one third of all budget money and hurts private companies. Banks prefer lending to government because it pays better and carries less risk. Business owners cannot access loans easily when government borrows heavily from local banks. Interest rates rise and force many companies to close or reduce...
