  I don't subscribe to the idea that the government should import used clothing, "Obroni-wawu" into the country, even though not everyone can afford to buy pricy new clothes. The government should consider the health risks associated with 'obroni-wawu' and the impact they may have on people's lives.
  I would advocate that, instead of the government spending about or more than $200 million annually to import foreign used clothing, it would be wise to use the money to set up Garment industries and stop the importation of 'obroni-wawu'.
