President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has on Wednesday August 5th 2020 officially opened the newly constructed Kasubi vendors market and launched the construction of Lubigi, Nakamiro drainage channel.
“As part of the efforts to make Kampala a more organised city, I presided over the commissioning of the new Kasubi Market and the launch of the construction works on the Lubigi and Nakamiro drainage channels, Museveni said.
The two drainage channels that will be completed in 12 months, will relieve the people of Kawempe and Bwaise of flooding especially in the rainy season.
On the other hand, Kasubi Market will house over 1,400 traders though currently only 800 are using it because of SOPs on social distancing.
“With this facility functional, I urge those who have been selling merchandise along the roads to use it instead “Museveni urged.
“I still see people flouting guidelines we put in place to check the spread of Covid-19. This disease is serious. We have so far lost five lives which could have been saved. Please don’t be reckless “said president Museveni.
