According to a scale audit conducted with guidance from the Uganda National Bureau of Standards (@UNBSug), 4 out of 5 traders tested failed to meet the acceptable weighing tolerance, meaning consumers could be paying for more beans than they actually receive. From imbalanced scales to weights outside the legal 15 gram allowance, the findings raise serious questions about accuracy in everyday trade. This investigation, “Faulty Scales Cost Kampala Consumers,” highlights why verified and certified weighing instruments matter for fair trade, consumer protection, and trust in our markets. Are you really getting what you pay for?
