By Linet WafulaMore by this AuthorRevival of four cotton ginneries in Busia County remains a pipe-dream four years after the idea was conceived by the county government. Upon assuming office, Governor Sospeter Ojaamong assured farmers his administration would revive the four cotton ginneries in Muluanda, Nambale, Amukura and Malakisi. Mulwanda ginnery in Funyula Sub County, which used to be the highest producer of lint and has a capacity of seven bales daily, was supposed to be revived first. Mr Onyango said revival of ginneries would enable them to grow and sell cotton more easily, adding that many farmers have been seeking markets in Uganda. He restated Governor Ojamoong’s position that all ginneries in Busia would be revived.
