The riots in Kenya are having a big impact in Uganda. Turns out all the fuel in our country comes from Kenya and officials are worried that the fuel trucks present too much of a target. So there is no fuel coming into Uganda. Gas prices doubled overnight, transport prices have gone through the roof. Boda rides across the city have gone from 3,500 to 6,000 USH. The taxi up the hill from 600 USH to 1000 USH making the most common form of transport unavailable to many people.
The AIDS Clinic was empty because many of the patients cannot afford to get to Mengo hospital. And I am worried about finding a special hire that will still have gas to get me to the airport on Friday.
