Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni has recently taken a bold step by prohibiting the importation of used clothing into the country. Citing concerns about stifling local textile industries and revealing a surprising perspective, Museveni asserts that these clothes belonged to deceased Westerners. This move diverges from the traditional practice of importing low-cost second-hand apparel, signaling a commitment to fostering Uganda's own textile sector.
