KIU, Main Campus c��?? President Yoweri Museveni, during his presidential address on the state of COVID-19 in Uganda, outrightly denounced suppliers of foodstuffs who are hoarding goods so as to sell when the prices go up.

After expressing his disappointment towards them by mentioning his intolerance for c��?selfish peoplec��?c, he threatened to start importing goods which in the long run would cause the hoarders to lose out.

c��?There is not enough maize or beans because people are withholding it from the market. They are hoarding it,c⬝ the President said.

c��?If I hear that there is not enough maize or beans on the market, if I just get a whisper that the food is not enough, then I will just import and forget about you because you are crooks trying to take advantage of your people,c⬝ he added.

Museveni warned that if suppliers continue hoarding, they will instead end up with rotten goods as he will instead opt to import cheaper foods from other countries.
