The walk to work protests that started early April have reduced the Growth Domestic Product (GDP) according to the report from Ministry of Tourism.

While talking to the press conference in Kampala, the Ministry of Tourism Spokesperson, Edwin Muzahura said that in only one month the country has lost about 100 billion shillings.

Muzahura says that the number of tourists entering Uganda have tremendously reduced due to the opposition political parties’ April protests against the escalating cost of living.

He adds that big hotels have been seriously hit by the effects of the protests, adding that unlike medium hotels big hotels depend on foreigners’ accommodation bookings.
