What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

Uganda's State Minister for Wildlife and Antiquities, Mr Martin Mugarra Bahinduka, has reaffirmed that the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) will continue charging vehicles transiting through Murchison Falls National Park.

"The tarmacking of this road does not justify the change of its status as a park tourism road," Mugarra emphasized during a press conference at Uganda Media Centre on Tuesday. "The National Park was constructed for administrative and tourism use, and has been so."

This decision follows controversy sparked by some MPs representing constituencies in northern Uganda.

Mr Gilbert Olanya, MP for Kilak County, argued that charging travellers to northern Uganda is unfair, particularly since those passing through Lake Mburo National Park and Queen Elizabeth National Park in western Uganda are not charged.

However, Mugarra clarified that the Kichumbanyobo-Paraa-Tangi-Pakwach bridge road was constructed strictly as a tourism road, not for general public use.
