Ugandan meat exporter granted 8.7 billion tax relief by Parliament against mass objections

The Ugandan Parliament approved a tax relief of 8.7 billion shillings for Fresh Cuts Uganda Limited, despite objections regarding the company's eligibility justification. The Finance Committee recommended the relief due to the company's financial difficulties, which included salary and tax arrears. However, some MPs expressed concerns that this relief does not address the governance and decision-making issues facing the company.
