Taga Valley Market authorities and traders have appealed to Mbarara City Council to swiftly merge Katete weekly market with theirs.

Taga Valley Market is located in Nsiikye Kyera cell, Nyamitaga Ward, Mbarara City North Division and operates weekly. Martin Chireko Mwebembezi, the chairperson Taga Valley Market says due to Katete weekly market which operates on the same day with Taga Valley Market, this has affected their  businesses.

Mwebembezi calls upon the Mbarara City Council to intervene and merge the two developing markets. In response, Dickson Asiimwe, the Commercial Officer Mbarara City South Division who had visited Taga Valley market on monitoring mission said the plans are underway to merge the two markets by phasing out Katete market not only for the good performance of Taga market, but because of being in a congested risky place.
