According to Irene Biira who owns a couple of salt pans at the lake, production of salt remains disrupted owing to ceaseless rainfall since mid-February.
Moses Baluku Kininga, who has been in the salt extraction business for the last 15 years, says that the rains have raised the water levels, damaged the salt pans packed salt and increased the costs on pumping water out. He says that their operations over the last five months were drastically affected.
