Among the industries Museveni toured include Roykens industries which makes matresses, Landy which makes sandles, CCLE Industries which makes motorcycle tyres and Sino Textiles which makes blankets.
He revealed that Mbalala industrial park has over 40 industries whixh which he said employs over 50,000 people.
