Kampala’s main trade lobby is facing pressure to cut short its strike, which saw shops close down from Tuesday this week, as some members started resuming business.
Traders allied to the Kampala City Traders Association (Kacita) and affiliated groups had agreed to close shops for an initial five to six days, before reconvening to reconsider the next move.
