Tourism minister warns Alcohol Bill could harm industry

Buhweju County MP, Francis Mwijukye asked Mugarra to clarify if the Ministry of Tourism is against the Alcoholic Drinks Control Bill, and explain why he feels the Bill isn't instrumental and poses a grave threat to the economy of the country.

Minister of State for Tourism Martin Mugarra has rejected the proposal in the Alcoholic Drinks Control Bill 2023, limiting the time within which alcohol should be sold, warning that any such move would be detrimental to Uganda’s tourism industry.
