What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Office of the Prime Minister and the Ministry of Works were tasked with creating a coordinated work plan to reverse urban planning issues in Kampala. This mandate follows a decision by the Cabinet, which ordered Kampala city traders who converted basements or parking areas into shops to vacate immediately or face eviction. The plan also addresses structures built on Allen Road that blocked floodwater channels.
