The study Consumer Protection Law in Uganda: Adequacy of the laws governing consumer
protection in Uganda, has been carried out with specific objectives of finding out whether the
laws relating to consumer protection in Uganda adequately protect the consumers. This was
established by exploring the background and !levelopment of Consumer Protection Law, the
different laws relating to consumer protection in Uganda, looking at the rights of the
conswners and the different problems faced by the consumers of goods and services.
It was established in the study that though consumer protection can first be traced be traced in
the natural economy, in Uganda today the law on consumer protection is still lacking a lot. It
is worth noting that Uganda a country that gained independence thirty years ago has still
failed to enact A Consumer Protection Act, which is one of the reasons as to why the
consumers of goods and services are still facing various problems.
It was further established that the existing provisions that provide for consumer protection in
Uganda are scattered in different Acts of parliament but to make it worse majority of the
consumers are not educated, in other words they are not informed about the laws that provide
for conswner protection.
The study shows that the rights of the consumers are abused which cause a lot of problems to
the consumers of goods and services and most of them go unaddressed due to the ignorance of the consumers
