A number of issues have been raised under this post, and I would like to respond to them. Firstly, thank you for the feedback, Kampala people. As one of you rightly put it, infrastructure, order and cleanliness are returning. We are encouraged by this recognition, Mr @AmanyaAloyo, and we acknowledge that there is still more work to do. Please note that Binaisa Road is already being rehabilitated, with drainage works currently underway. To those pointing out the endless political pictures around the city and other unnecessary paper adverts on poles and structures, we hear you. We will continue enforcing the applicable regulations on unauthorised posters and advertising to protect Kampala’s public spaces and maintain a clean urban environment. ( @isaac_muganza1 ) On the concern that the directive requiring commercial property owners to pave their forecourts appears to have quietly faded away, we recognise the importance of sustained enforcement and follow-through. We will continue engaging property owners and monitoring compliance to improve pedestrian access, safety and the overall appearance of our streets. ( @AndrewAgaba9) To those raising concerns about boda bodas riding on one-way roads and failing to follow traffic signals, road safety remains a priority. We will continue working closely with the Traffic Police and other stakeholders to promote discipline on our roads and address dangerous riding practices. In addition, we are in the final stages of operationalising the Kampala Capital City Public Transport Ordinance, which will strengthen regulation of the sector. (@rbagaba , @TheMatundaMan ) And to everyone saying, “This is the Kampala we love to see. Clean, organised and moving forward!” thank you. We remain committed to strengthening road infrastructure, drainage systems, waste management, street lighting and public space management to make that vision a lasting reality.

📽️ Davis Musanganya, the survivor of the River Nyamwamba drowning incident in Kasese District, had reportedly left school without permission to participate in a football tournament in Kasese town. While returning, he and his friend, Innocent Owomugisha, 17, attempted to cross River Nyamwamba despite the rising water levels. Owomugisha, a Senior Four student at Kilembe Secondary School, drowned in the incident, while Musanganya survived. Owomugisha had only one examination paper remaining to complete his O’Level examinations. #NewsInBytes #VisionUpdates
