“We held a meeting with the Town clerk on the Kitooro market re-development plans and we are more than ready to vacate. Municipal Council has already identified a relocation site for us but I cannot disclose the site until we sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Municipal Council on the process of vacating the Market and returning when the market is redeveloped. I hope within two weeks time we shall have got the MOU”, Sekagya revealed.
