“From all the places that we have been too throughout the day, am really impressed with what I saw. It’s a whole chain and there’s no wastage of your items during the production process”, the Kyabazinga observed adding that empowering and supporting locally made products will go a long way in addressing unemployment thereby alluding to government’s current campaign of Buy Uganda Build Uganda (BUBU).
