Uganda is experiencing significant delays in the rollout of its new digital number plate system, known as the Intelligent Transport Monitoring System (ITMS). These shortages are causing major disruptions to vehicle acquisition for motorists, car dealerships, and transport businesses. The implementation is being carried out by Joint Stock Company Global, but persistent supply issues are raising questions about the speed of the rollout. The delays are not only frustrating vehicle buyers but also pose a threat to jobs and overall economic growth within the automotive sector. Concerns are mounting regarding the initial decision to implement the system, with stakeholders questioning if the rollout was premature. The situation is impacting the ability to register new vehicles and maintain existing transport operations effectively.
