Uganda: Tororo Cement has condemned a counterfeit cement racket after authorities seized over 700 bags of fake product in Osukuru, Tororo District. Five suspects were arrested following the discovery of two warehouses storing the material.
Senior manager of logistics and utilities David Omaido warned that such activities damage the company’s reputation, and urged consumers to buy only from authorised dealers.
He advised buyers to verify authenticity using Uganda Bureau of Standards stamps and by checking that packaging is in 50kg bags. The company is particularly concerned about the origin of the counterfeit packaging.
