Last Thursday in an intelligence led operation, the Jinja enforcement team intercepted truck number UBN075J that was conveying Pakistan re-bagged rice.
The team received intelligence of a truck that was headed to Kampala with concealed Pakistan rice.
“The local rice was placed on top in branded bags of kaka while the Pakistan rice was concealed under,” Philip Ofubo narrated.
Upon verification, a total of 520 bags each having 25 kilograms were discovered. Of these, 260 bags were for local rice and the other 260 bags were for Pakistan rice.
Currently, offence management is underway to ensure culprits are penalized.
