In his concerted effort to promote “Buy Uganda Build Uganda” (BUBU) national policy, President Yoweri Museveni has banned the importation of second hand clothes also locally known as mivumba <\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Museveni said the continued importation of second clothes- used clothing stifles the development of local textile industries. Some of these used clothes are for dead people. When a White person dies, they gather their clothes and send them to Africa,\u201d Museveni complained .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have people here who produce new clothes but they cannot infiltrate the market because of the low proced second hand items ,\u201d Museveni stated <\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Museveni was commissioning 16 factories at Sino Uganda-Mbale Industrial Park in Mbale City. He also presided over the ground-breaking for the construction of another 9 factories in the same industrial park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Museveni said the ban would also extend to electricity meters and electric cables, saying they should be bought from factories in Uganda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
