Kiosk Owners Rally Against Eviction From Kabale Hospital Main Gate

Posted by: lukwago J in Uganda news May 17, 2024

In a recent turn of events, kiosk owners in Kabale are up in arms over their impending eviction from the main gate of the renowned Kabale Hospital. The district security committee justifies this action, claiming that it is necessary for security reasons.

With their businesses conveniently located in close proximity to the hospital, they have been able to cater to the needs of patients, visitors, and even hospital staff. However, the district security committee has cited security concerns as grounds for their removal.

While the district security committee’s primary responsibility is to ensure the safety of the hospital and its surroundings, kiosk owners argue that they pose no threat and have been operating peacefully for years.

Many of them have invested their savings into these small businesses, which have become a vital source of income for their families. The sudden eviction notice has left them worried about their future and uncertain about how they will sustain themselves.

In response to the eviction notice, kiosk owners have organized protests, demanding a dialogue with the district security committee. They aim to present their case and demonstrate that their presence near the hospital gate does not compromise security.

Additionally, they hope to explore alternative solutions that can address the security concerns while allowing them to continue their businesses.

It is important to acknowledge the district security committee’s responsibility to prioritize the safety and well-being of the hospital and its visitors.

However, it is equally crucial to consider the economic impact on these kiosk owners, who have built their livelihoods around serving the needs of those coming to the hospital. Striking a balance between security measures and the preservation of local businesses is crucial to ensuring a harmonious coexistence.

As the tension between kiosk owners and the district security committee continues to escalate, it is imperative for both parties to engage in constructive dialogue. By finding a middle ground that addresses security concerns while providing alternative locations or compromises for the kiosk owners, a solution can be reached that respects the interests of all stakeholders involved.

Only through open communication and understanding can we pave the way for a harmonious resolution to this complex situation.
