MBARARA — Money-lenders are a nuisance yet the state machinery is too weak to protect the public against them, the Chief magistrate of Masaka court, Cissy Mudhasi, said on Friday. She was on Friday contributing to a consultative meeting on whether the law of imprisoning civil debtors should be abolished to decongest prisons, held at Lake View Regency Hotel.
