A recent crackdown on unsafe taxis, known locally as "Ganyegenya," in Kampala, Uganda, is causing a surge in the cost of spare parts and vehicle repairs. Initiated on August 20th by Minister of Works and Transport Fred Byamukama, the 100-day operation aims to remove dangerously maintained taxis from the roads. Taxi owners and mechanics report significantly higher prices for essential components needed to meet the new safety standards. The increased demand, coupled with potential supply chain issues, is contributing to the price hikes. This crackdown intends to improve road safety by eliminating vehicles in dangerous mechanical condition. The situation presents a financial burden for taxi operators striving to comply with regulations in Kampala.
