Thousands involved in the second hand clothes and shoes trade will know their fate next week as East African leaders meet in Arusha to discuss a ban on used garments.
President Uhuru Kenyatta and leaders of Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi and Rwanda will decide on whether to adopt their ministers’ position calling for a ban on importation of used clothes.
