Imports of secondhand clothing are to be banned in Uganda, if the country's president Yoweri Museveni has his way.
USAID, a US government humanitarian agency, conducted a study which revealed that East Africa as a whole imports over 12 percent of the global total of secondhand garments.
In Uganda alone, 16 million people - approximately one in three - are estimated to be regular purchasers of pre-worn clothes.
It's precisely this dependency that the President wishes to sever, states David Bahati, the government's trade minister.
While a major part of Uganda's cotton crops have long been cultivated for export, Bahati's convinced that the resource can be channelled to address clothes manufacturing within the domestic market.
The potential ban has instilled considerable fear among the traders at Kampala's bustling Owino market, which has, since 1971, been the city's main hub for Uganda's secondhand clothing industry.
Peace Mackline is one of the numerous shopkeepers who deals in the trade.
Likewise, the possibility of a veto on used garments troubles patrons, owing to their affordability and also their improved quality.
In a country where, according to the World Bank 30 percent of the population lives below the poverty line, the implementation of such a drastic ban is certain to meet with stiff resistance.
