Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja has warned KCCA law enforcement officers and building inspectors to do their duties with discipline, and integrity and stop extortion.

She made these remarks during a meeting with the Chairpersons from Central Division and their committees. They met to discuss the challenges they face so as to get solutions.

The meeting took place at Old Kampala Secondary School and National Resistance Movement (NRM) LCI chairpersons were also invited.

According to the Prime Minister, enforcement in the city is very necessary, however, they don’t need people who lack discipline.

“They are terrorizing our people. But we have a solution. We had a meeting and agreed to have cameras to be monitoring them. I will be in my office where I can see whatever the KCCA law enforcement officers are doing in the field,” Nabbanja said.

She also commended the grassroot leaders for doing a wonderful job. Additionally, she reminded LCI chairpersons and all the leaders in the city to support KCCA in the decongestion exercise they are carrying out.

“We have moved to various cities and they are not congested like Kampala. There is a decongestion exercise going on in the city, where we are ensuring people are moved to gazetted places,” Nabbanja said.

She said the directive to move people to organized working places came from the president himself. Therefore, it has to be implemented.

“The president advised us to gazette markets where these people can work from. All those people working along Nakivubo channel should be moved to Kisekka market, there is government land there,” Nabbanja said.

Chairpersons from 134 villages in Kampala Central said they will support the changes to improve service delivery in Kampala. Before the arrival of the guests, the attendees were trained in Islamic Banking.

They were also sensitized on the Parish Development Model and Emyooga programmes.
