@yotvchannels , note that of late the youtv Channels app is unstable from 5 to 6am which makes me miss the #omuntuwawansi program on @Radio4UG by @kyamageroandrew yet the monthly fee was increased from 10k to 20k.
@UCPA_Ug Please protect the consumer. #Valueformoney.
Thanks

Two separate studies by Ugandan and Dutch scientists have discovered plastics are not only hazardous, some particles are present in the human bloodstream. See full story here https://t.co/un1FjMJBEQ

#SubstandardDevices
Before buying a device, verify if it is authentic by dialling *#06# to find it's IMEI. As a rule, the IMEI of genuine handsets don't contain repetitive numbers, alphanumeric characters, fractions or letters.

@mtnug plz explain under what circumstances does a customer buy bundles and in less than a second u get zero balance before even browsing any site or opening any messaging app ?

A collective national crusade against #Telecomfraud is urgent. We can't keep on forever like this!

@UCPA_Ug The government has been sitting on a draft consumer protection bill for more than 15 years now. It seems to have found a way back on the agenda over the last few years. We need to push government to see it through this time. @SamWatasa @mtic_uganda

He, the lead developer, said with the software dubbed Kebera Organics, a consumer simply has to scan the food commodity and get either of the three signals -red, yellow or green. Red means it’s dangerous, yellow means the contamination is moderate, and green means it is safe.

[Consumer Protection Uganda @UCPA_Ug]

Prof Kabi said at a symposium at Makerere university organised by the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences that they have developed a device that farmers and traders can use to scan and detect the levels of contaminants in soil, plants, fruits and food commodities.

[Consumer Protection Uganda @UCPA_Ug]

According to a dissertation submitted to faculty of Law at KIU in 2013 by Kyomugisha Kusurumu, "The government of Uganda has failed to put strict laws to protect consumers from hazardous and substandard products brought into the markets". This statement still holds true today.

Did you know?
In Brazil, the consumer does not have to bring forward evidence that the defender is guilty. Instead, the defense has to bring forward evidence that they are innocent.

@UCPA_Ug Individual consumers are fair game against business. We must amplify the #consumervoice to be heard by policy makers, regulators & service providers #ConsumerRightsDay #WCRD2022 #FairDigitalFinance @SEATINIUGANDA @UCPA_Ug @SamWatasa @UGCommonwealth @ICANdecide @mtic_uganda

The consumer protection bill has been a draft for more than 11years. It appears there is minimal will among policy makers to protect the consumer's welfare.@mtic_uganda @BOU_Official @ConsumerReports @UCC_Official
