The Uganda National Bureau of standards is lobbing for an increment in funds for the next financial year.

The executive director of UNBS Dr. Terry Kahuma says they have always been under funded the factor that has affected proper service delivery, especially fighting counterfeit.

He says for the bureau to effectively run its work, it requires 20 billion shillings. Kahuma says if government allocates them 12 billion they can source for the remaining monies from other development partners.

The government of Uganda is preparing to read the 2011/2011 national budget this June in which it makes allocations to different government departments.
