Why CSOs are petitioning Parliament over failed alcohol control bill | TALK OF THE NATION
This week, a coalition of civil society organizations petitioned Speaker of Parliament Anita Among, challenging the rejection of the Alcohol Control Bill 2023, which aimed to regulate the sale, purchase, and consumption of alcohol in Uganda. This decision followed a report presented by Sylvia Nayebare from the Committees on Trade and Health on August 13, 2024. Tonight on Talk of the Nation, we explore the key points of the petition and discuss its significance with Prof. Nazarius Mbona Tumwesigye of Makerere University.
