WHY THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO PROTECT KAMPALA INFRASTRUCTURE
The improvement in the city of Kampala is an amazing site to see and all credit goes to Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA).
Over the past couple of months, Kampala’s infrastructure has been changing and offering a new outlook that befits a city status. The city has seen the expanded road network with signalised junctions to street solar-powered lights which has bolsters the city’s economic growth.
In 2015, a road inventory was carried-out and it was established that the city had a total road network of 2,110kms. These made the government and development partners to invest in the project which is giving the city a new facelift.
The agency got funding from World Bank through the Kampala Institutional and Infrastructural Development Project (KIIDP) that bankrolled the upgrade of major city roads to Bitumen while others have been maintained with dual lanes.
THE NEED TO PROTECT KAMPALA INFRASTRUCTURE
So far, KCCA has done a good job, but hearing reports about the continued vandalism of the city infrastructure is seriously sending a bad signal to donors who fund such projects because they may assume that the public is not interested in having decent infrastructure and does not know value for money.
These latest report, will seriously bring up the topic about funding from individual to support other projects in the city for fear of losing its profit or any other interests.
