...single locksmith, and some of the new shopkeepers have had to dynamite office safes to get at records. Many of the new proprietors still do not know how to reorder goods. And new orders will not be shipped by suppliers without cash in hand, but Uganda's import laws specify cash only on delivery. It remains to be seen whether Amin can step up his lagging policy of mafuta mingi (Swahili for fattening up) by forcing the banks to offer non-secured loans to shopkeepers so they can reorder...
