Ugandans Call for Revision of Money Lending Policies to Curb Extortion by Court Bailiffs

A growing concern among Ugandans has led to calls for the government to revise its money lending policies. The issue at hand is the extortionate practices of court bailiffs who are responsible for recovering overdue loans on behalf of financial institutions.

Locals and economists alike are urging the government to take action, citing the need for greater regulation and oversight. The current system allows court bailiffs to seize property and assets from borrowers who are unable to repay their loans, often using aggressive and exploitative tactics.

The consequences of these practices are far-reaching, with many borrowers facing financial ruin, stress, and even homelessness. The situation is further complicated by the lack of clear guidelines and regulations governing the conduct of court bailiffs.

In response to these concerns, the government is being called upon to revise its money lending policies. Proposed measures include:

  • Capping interest rates: To prevent predatory lending practices and reduce the burden on borrowers.
  • Improving borrower protection: By establishing clear guidelines for court bailiffs to follow when recovering overdue loans.
  • Enhancing transparency: Requiring financial institutions to disclose their lending terms and conditions clearly.

By revising its money lending policies, the government can help prevent extortion by court bailiffs and promote a fairer and more transparent lending environment in Uganda.
