Christmas is fast approaching but Ugandans will have to dig deeper into their pockets during this festive season as prices of home basic needs have been hiked. These basic commodities include sugar, milk, bread, cooking oil, and soap etc.

Patrick Musiinguzi, one of the wholesaler owners in Kiwatule who spoke to Matooke Republic, said he has already started feeling sorry for his customers due to the increased prices of basic commodities.

“The high price of home basic goods is high and I am feeling sorry for people because it is going to eat into their budget. I even don’t think they will buy Christmas gifts for their loved ones this festive season,” Musiinguzi told Matooke Republic.
