This is business Africa AfricaGlobal Business stories on the Office Welcome and uganda. A new law came into effect last year banning the import of cars older than 15 years legislation was aimed at stopping pollution and reducing accidents with unsafe cars but the law house as legislation legislation often does trigger some unintended consequences carding list Small Business owners and drivers are not happy for. This is one of compilers famous cars known for venting delicious local pancakes this is a summary has been on the road for over 25 years. The only inherited from his father and thought that he could buy a new worker for the Family Business you know from i can never afford a brand new car for a 1000000 shillings but of someone buys one truck for about 3 years i can buy that one for just 10000000 showing. Those that the government has bundy in petition of cars like hes somewhere which are older than 15 years from the month sharing did. The order has a say to him eat more carbon to the atmosphere than the newer ones with improved cleaner technology the ban has affected many especially the car dealers business has really become. For us. To be with these guys and really expensive but men know them i know its their book to buy them saw instead of one coming here to say that let me buy a new car if you get someone sailing again from there you will have to buy that despite concerns instead shot up figures obtained by d. W. Sure that customs create an average 123. 00 cars per day in the last 5 months. This is higher than the daily average of 100 cars for the same period in the last 3 years. The tax body says that many traders of russia korea all the earlier imported order because before the end of the grace period this december 1st we thought because we hadnt forced the ban on importation of is because of the effect of the revenues but surprisingly weve seen an increase in the increase in those who have been attributed to david. Because it expires this month so people want it people had imported so many cars and they were. In mumbai and wanted warehouses. In individual hands so people want to clear so that they did so that effective next year they are not affected by by the by some ugandans now thea thats the high cost of the new york could be shifted to passengers and push transport fares. But the government maintains that the ban is well thought out in the Public Interest to benefit all ugandans and the environment. Doesnt really join as madame was sent us that report and joins us now from kampala julie is this is a classic example of unintended consequences is it not is this a bad lol. Well this argument has a the sedes and this low was highly criticize especially when you were when it was in parliament the government hide its basis saying that old cars they meet a lot of company have a High Maintenance cost and they are known for causing road accidents but there was a very heated debate in parliament some members who oppose this bill say the more than 10000 jobs that were being risk but the government had the numbers and hard its reasons much more stronger than those that opposed it so we can say some people might as its a low they still oppose it but its already existing and it has to apply a canvass law be tweaked to make more sense for the business on a Small Businesses very much depend on their cars on the sale of those. I dont think a question of tweaking that law exists at the moment because i had a conversation with the Uganda Revenue Authority much as for them they say they just implemented what the parliament brings to them and what theyre implementing now this saying theyre committed a pushing for the law theres not been any signs of tweaking this slow and not what ugandans of good to do now is perhaps for just the Business Strategies and not just the a Business Plan and to see that they can embrace the law but going back to Parliament May not be an option for now but one knows it could go back but not any sign has been shown yet. Do is how our ordinary ugandan passengers who commutes to work how are they affected they already are worried they are concerned that suddenly when these numbers go high the numbers of affording a new yorker they invest as a very likely the people who invest in public transport they are likely to put that course now on the passengers theyre likely to charge they march more than what the avoid is paid for because now they want to recover their costs and this is likely to push their transport fares way above the roof and that corn son also feeds into the idea that the government has not shown any interest of putting forward any incentives actually worth noting that actually when youre in uganda you pay much more tax to buy a newer car than than an old car so there is no we do not see any way that these prices for new cars are going to go down and passengers are concerned that those numbers are likely to be shifted in the transport finance.
