Congolese travelers departing from the city of Goma in the DRC, towards Kampala in Uganda, expressed their concern, Thursday August 29, over the obligation to pay the sum of twenty thousand shillings, or 7 USD, to the immigration service at the Chanika post.

According to one Congolese by names of Christian Bila,he noted that,

These Congolese say they do not understand the nature of these fees so the DRC and Uganda had agreed since the beginning of this year to eliminate fees for granting visas in order to promote the free movement of people. 

Bila continued and said that;

“I traveled to Uganda and passed through Chanika but when I arrived there I noticed that each Congolese paid 20,000 shillings, the nature of which we do not know. Is it for the visa or is it collected for something else? I would still like us to be able to enlighten public opinion on this and that would be a good thing,” said Christian Bila.
