A condemned building or property is simply a building under lockdown or siege or has been placed under restrictions by local authorities.
This can happen for various reasons, including public safety and public health, in accordance with local ordinance.
KCCA’s Physical Planning Doctorate filed a technical assessment report over the last two years. The report assessment found out that there are 504 illegal buildings in the five divisions of Kampala.
These were constructed without approval by the concerned authorities.
On that note, therefore, the police together with KCCA and NBRB carried out a joint crackdown on Thursday.
They halted the construction of a proposed restaurant and office building on plot 20196, Block 216 in Ntinda. They accused the owner of deviating from the approved building plans.
Much as the building had been approved for a restaurant and office space, the proprietor cannot be allowed to partition it into an international school. He would need clearance from the NBRB first.
‘’The drawings for this site were submitted for approval and the KCCA building committee differed them and asked for additional information.
However, the developer ignored KCCA’s advice and went ahead with the construction,’’ Eng. Flavia Bwire, the Executive Secretary of the NBRB said.
KCCA also halted many other projects in the crackdown, some of which include commercial buildings and fuel stations along Salaama road in Makindye division.
They are also accusing them of altering initial construction plans.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
