Abstract
Being a law student and at the same time a consumer, I have continuously assessed
the conditions of an average consumer of commodities. The research is intended to
establish existence of consumer protection Legislations in Uganda and other authorities
that are meant to protect consumers in the economy.
Consumers are a very vital aspect in the economy of Uganda and they have little to say
about whether or not what they consume is authentic or not. It's not like they can strike
and stop consuming because most of these are essential, basic 1and vital to the
average person.
The question raised then is whether the government has done anything to protect
these consumers?
In the bid to resolve the issue above, thorough examination shall be put on establishing
whether or not the existing legislations and authority confer protection to consumers or
not. And if there is no, or there is ineffectiveness in authority already existing, then what
measures are in place to offer protection to consumers. Suffice to note that a consumer
protection billS among other measures is prevalent. This measure as well is discussed in
the research.
