Uganda has resolved to start the commercial production of motor vehicles after the process had stalled for years.

In a meeting chaired by president Yoweri Museveni on Monday, the Cabinet directed the ministry of finance to set aside over Ush20 billion
($5.6 million) next financial year to kickstart the construction of an assembly plant.
