we lack stability in electricity as a nation. But we have enough elec...Power. chargers should be stationed on different 🛣️🛣️ roads 70km from the Capital. at the moment the government should use these buses as cheap public transport

If all baby toy cars are imported from china, ...................... (complete the sentence)

[@stevenkazibwe6662]

You guys assemble. These Chinese buses. You're not manufacturers. Just waiting to see the price tags on these things. My bet is only government will be able to afford.

[@beyondsnow1224]

Why are you waiting for the price can u even make a wire bby car, enemies of progress

[@stevenkazibwe6662]

@beyondsnow1224 you have no clue how economics works. It's called comparative advantage. Uganda is better off spending that bus money in agriculture than manufacturing vehicles. The price is important because it shows how capable you are to manufucture efficiently.

[@bettymusoke2510]

I don't know why Ugandans always want to undermine their country instead of supporting them. Ate bwemuva awo nga muwana ebyabalala! Kati gwe offilrwa ki if they assemble the buses?

Go there and see by your self
