NATIONAL COFFEE (AMENDMENT) BILL 2024 RETURNS FOR THIRD READING

The opposition in Parliament has maintained its position on the National Coffee Amendment Bill 2024. Led by the Leader of Opposition, Joel Ssenyonyi, MPs continue to demand that the Uganda Coffee Development Authority (UCDA) maintains its current status. Parliament will resume on Wednesday to deliberate on the third reading of the National Coffee Amendment Bill 2024, which seeks to mainstream the functions of the UCDA into the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry, and Fisheries.
