ウガンダ：マイカーにはごみ箱必須！

　…と、法律を改定するそうだ。

BBC Uganda to impose fines on drivers without bins in car 9 Feb 2023

　これまでは長距離バスには義務だったが、どうもポイ捨て等々が問題になったわけだろう、個々人所有の車にもごみ箱を必須にすると。なおプラバッグは不可とのこと。つまりプラ袋にごみを詰めて適当に結んでぶん投げる…のが常態だったわけか。

「Uganda's environmental management agency says it will start imposing fines from April on motorists driving private cars without rubbish bins.

Offenders will face a maximum fine of up to 6,000,000 Ugandan shillings ($1,630; £1,350), according to a penalty scheme announced on Wednesday.

Motorists who refuse to pay the fines will face prosecution and imprisonment or a fine determined by the courts, the agency said in a statement.」

　結構な額の罰金が設定されている様子。

「Currently passenger buses travelling over long distances in the country are obligated to have rubbish bins.」

「"As long as you are using something that is not prohibited to hold your rubbish, you should be fine. Plastic bags are prohibited," Naomi Karekaho, the spokesperson of the agency, told the BBC.」
