After that, we shall get an occupation permit then handover to the Ministry of Local Government, which will work together with the vendors to have them smoothly occupy the market,\u201d Mr Rubongoya said.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Rubongoya said the construction of the market was supposed to be completed by February last year but faced a delay due to the construction of roads in its surrounding .<\/p>\n<p>A section of the recently commissioned Entebbe Modern Market in Kitoro. The facility has been fenced off to safeguard equipment.

We have built a daycare centre where they can keep their children. They should not go through the trouble of selling their tomatoes while the kids are disturbing them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Museveni urged vendors to concentrate on improving their incomes. \u201cWith these facilities, you can use this market as a school for low-income earners, so you must work hard and graduate to the next level and leave others also to come and join,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><b>editorial@ug.nationmedia.com<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
