However, clothes traders have been a depressed lot this festive season.
Customers are staying away from their stalls and instead of counting profits, traders are counting fast rising bills that may soon put them out of business.
Their woes have everything to do with reduced customers’ purchasing powers.
December is here with us. Traditionally, it marks the start of the festive season when families and friends spend thousands of shillings on Christmas and New-Year holidays merry-making.
This is usually characterised by up-country travels, feasts, as well as holidays and clothes purchases.
