Monday, 04 July 2011 06:45 Paul Tentena

KAMPALA, UGANDA- Uganda's wildlife conservation and management body, the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) last week announced increases in the fees charged to enter national parks with effect from July 1.
The body attributed their increases to the weakening Uganda Shilling against the Dollar, increase in fuel prices and the cost of living which is going up.Mid last week, the Dollar traded at between Ush2,710 and Ush2,745 before it slowed down at the closing of the week because the Bank of Uganda intervened in the market by selling more dollars into the market.
