The National Strategy and Communications Officer at Operation Wealth Creation (OWC), Edson Kirabira, has called on KACITA to halt the pending strike by traders in Kampala over URA tax reforms.
Traders have threatened to close shops in Kampala from November 17th, protesting the URA reforms.
Now, Edson Kirabira has come out and urged traders not to close shops, saying it is not the solution.
“Dear Traders, we have challenges but closing shops is not the solution. Remember I am also a KACITA Member. Mr. Sekitto and team, you know that we forge a better way to have a meeting with concerned people and resolve this,” Edson Kirabira said.
Kirabira emphasized that dialogue remains the best path to resolving the standoff between traders and the tax body, rather than actions that could cripple businesses, hurt customers, and affect the economy.
He called upon the KACITA leadership to engage government through the available channels to ensure that traders’ concerns are heard and addressed amicably.
