Traders at Farmers Mall have protested alleged unlawful evictions, monthly rent increases, and intimidation by armed security, accusing owner John Bosco Muwonge of locking shops without notice and enforcing 10% rent hikes. Shops remained closed as traders attempted to seek dialogue but were blocked by armed personnel. The protesters, mainly selling agricultural inputs, called on government authorities to intervene, citing harassment and financial strain, while management has not responded to requests for comment.
