Kampala City traders have called for the restoration of trade order in the capital, which is currently messed up with a pool of roadside vendors.
They are also concerned about the jammed parking of public taxis and motorcycles in ungazetted parking spaces, and poor garbage disposal.
Everest Kayondo, the Chairman of Kampala City Traders Association (KACITA) says that the current set up within the central business district does not allow a smooth flow of business, and asked the city authorities to “drop the politics, and restore sanity in the city.
Kayondo says that the increasing number of vendors on the streets is a time bomb at a time when the government is struggling to contain corona virus disease.
KCCA spokesperson Daniel Muhumuza Nuwabine says that the authority is already making arrangements to gazette places that will be affordable for the vendors to occupy after they are evicted from the streets.
