Kampala Capital City Authority Spox

Live on set 📺 @StartvUganda now, is the @KCCAED. Tune in and follow our #KCCAonAir segment as @Buzeki_Sharifah details the KCCA plan on trade order, city infrastructure, waste management and more. Do not miss 🫵

Following the heavy downpour experienced earlier today in the city, @KCCAUG noted that water levels in most affected areas dispersed within a short time as drainage systems normalized. Our teams rose to the occasion to clear blocked channels and monitor the situation for swift response. We have also noted the circulation of some AI-generated and misleading images falsely portraying the situation. We urge the public to always verify information through our official platforms and avoid spreading unverified content. Additionally, we call upon all landlords and business owners to exercise responsible waste management measures and stop indiscriminate littering and dumping of waste which ends up in drainage channels, significantly contributing to blockage and flooding during such heavy rains. Motorists and pedestrians are advised to always exercise caution in flood-prone areas during periods of rainfall. KCCA remains committed to improving storm water management in the City #ForALivableCity.

@lulanzeashirafu @KCCAED This was worked on.

Kampala Capital City Authority @KCCASpox @KCCAED please, do something on this open manhole in Kyanja behind Kensington Heights. It's in the middle of the road and at a corner. It's a death trap.

@lulanzeashirafu @KCCAED Hello Ashrafu, This was well received and forwarded to the responsible team to handle. Let’s follow up. Regards.

Our partners in the media are key stakeholders in amplifying and sensitising masses on #AirQuality management in the city. We believe that equipping them with these skills, will bring about more accurate reporting and increased public awareness. #BreatheCleanLiveHealthier #ForALivableCity

Hello @KCCASpox @KCCAUG @KCCAED imagine such a death pool to be in middle of the city 😒. Kitalo nyo bambi

Today, led by @KCCAED — @Buzeki_Sharifah, we had a field tour of some of the ongoing Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area — Urban Development Program (GKMA-UDP) to assess progress. #KCCAatWork progressing well on Kira (Nakawa Division), Mukalazi and Muganzilwazza (Kawempe Division), Bemba and Cape Villas/Wavamunno (Makindye Division) roads. Improving these roads will enhance economic productivity and social wellness by reducing severe traffic congestion within the city. #ForALivableCity

Statement on Status of Unauthorized Demolition along Sebana Road On 7th March 2026, unauthorized demolition of structures occurred at Nakivubo Place along Sebana Road. Following this incident, the Inter-Agency Technical Committee on the redevelopment of Nakivubo Channel was tasked to conduct a site visit, assess the remaining structures, and advise the Executive Director on their management. @KCCAUG wishes to inform traders and the general public that, based on technical assessments by the Committee overseeing the Nakivubo Drainage Channel project, the remaining structures at St. Balikuddembe Market, as well as another structure along the Channel that had been partially demolished last week by unauthorized individuals, were found to be destabilized and unsafe. The Committee recommended their controlled removal to protect traders, customers, and the surrounding community. Acting on this recommendation and following an application for demolition, KCCA issued a Conditional Demolition Permit for the affected structures. To safeguard lives and property, the area will remain fully cordoned off while works are carried out. On 14th March 2026, @KCCAED — @Buzeki_Sharifah convened a stakeholder meeting with market leaders and the surrounding community at Nakivubo Settlement Primary School. During the meeting, she presented the technical report, addressed community concerns, and clarified that @KCCAUG has no immediate plans to remove St. Balikuddembe Market. Any future developments will be communicated through official channels. @KCCAUG reassures traders and city residents that this action is purely a safety measure. No new commercial structures will be erected at the site. Instead, a stormwater retention facility will be constructed to improve drainage from the market into Nakivubo Channel and sustainably manage flash floods in the surrounding area. Importantly, the land remains a channel reserve, and the boundaries of St. Balikuddembe Market are clearly demarcated. The Authority remains committed to protecting traders and ensuring that all city markets are safe, well-managed, and properly organized, in line with our vision #ForALivableCity.

NOTICE: The Inter-Agency Committee supervising the development of the Nakivubo Drainage Channel is visiting the sites along Ssebaana Road where unauthorized demolition of structures occurred on the night of 7th March 2026. The purpose of the visit is to assess the safety of the partially demolished structures and advise @KCCAED — @Buzeki_Sharifah on the appropriate action required. Community members and the general public are hereby advised to exercise caution and strictly avoid going beyond the designated safety line around the affected site. KCCA remains committed to ensuring public safety and orderly development within the city. #ForALivableCity

HAPPENING NOW! We are here for the evening. Come let’s dialogue about all issues Kampala City and what @KCCAUG has in store for the transformation of our city. #ForALivableCity
