Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The government has cleared at least 76 city arcades to reopen while 70 arcades will remain closed until they meet the standard operating procedures (SOPs).<\/p>\n

The revelation is contained in a press statement, which was issued by Kampala minister Minsa Kabanda on August 7.<\/p>\n

The minister noted that of the 178 arcades, only 16 have so far been inspected of which 76 arcades have been recommended for reopening while 70 arcades have not yet met the requirements for reopening.<\/p>\n

She also stated that the inspection teams on Saturday closed Gazaland and corner arcades for denying access to the teams.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have noted that some arcades have reopened without fulfilling compliance requirements set out. We are continuing with the enforcement exercise and shall not hesitate to prosecute anyone violating the SOPs,\u201d Ms abanda wrote.<\/p>\n

Some of the requirements for reopening include presence of compliance officers at all entrances of arcades, free corridors and access ways, observance of proper hygiene and sanitation, adequate lighting and ventilation.<\/p>\n
