Uganda Adopts an Anti-Counterfeiting Network

Uganda has struggled to adopt an anti-counterfeiting bill for many years with many members of Parliament  remaining divided over the issue of counterfeit versus substandard products (see video). Yet, despite the delay, Fred Muwema, Director of Legal and Corporate Affairs, has established an Anti-Counterfeiting Network this week that uses agents from all sectors of government to investigate and remove counterfeit products in the local marketplace

While establishing the Anti-Counterfeiting Network’s offices in Kampala, the country’s capital, Muwema reassured everyone that it will not only make a difference in Uganda as well as Africa at large.
