Traders in Mukono have been shifted to a new location, but their hopes for better business conditions have been dashed by severe challenges.

The primary complaints center on muddy roads that become impassable during rains, severely hampering access for customers and transport of goods.

In addition, the site lacks essential facilities such as proper sanitation, lighting, and shelter, making daily operations difficult and unsafe.

Business owners report declining sales and frustration with authorities over unfulfilled promises of improved setups.
