        @calestous My idea really would be to adopt the use of more local african textiles in places of work.Make them officially acceptable

        @calestous Second-hand clothes are cheaper than even raw cotton. Steal from the poor and give to smugglers.

        @calestous it open doors for more fake Chinese clothes which is rapidly becoming a thing in Kenya

        @calestous US/Canada also has Goodwill, Salvation Army stores plus flea markets. And this doesnt stop malls from selling new clothes.

        @calestous Short positive effect. Lethal for long term sustentabily of African industry. It would desestimulate value added orientation.

        @calestous @Afrinnovator We run a simulation using the GTAP trade model and ban would boost the textile industry.
