City tycoon and businessman, Bassajabalaba, has urged the government to enhance infrastructure in Kampala’s Central Business District.
During his recent tour of Namuwongo and Muyenga, he expressed dissatisfaction with the deteriorating state of roads in the city.
“As leaders, we must prioritize road development. Improved roads will attract investors to our country,” stated Bassajabalaba, emphasizing the need for national collaboration.
In a commitment to enhance the city’s aesthetics, he pledged to plant trees in Kampala, envisioning a more beautiful urban landscape. Additionally, Bassajabalaba vowed to contribute construction equipment, including graders, to facilitate road improvements across different parts of Kampala.
Acknowledging recent road development plans shared by ED-UNRA, which predominantly focus on countryside areas, Bassajabalaba highlighted the importance of addressing urban infrastructure challenges. The identified roads for improvement include the Kisubi-Nakawuka, Nateete, Nakawuka-Kasanje-Mpigi, Mbulamuti-Kamuli-Bukungu (covering 127 Km), Iganga Bulopa Kamuli, Kawuku Bwerenga, Koboko-Yumbe-Moyo, and Kabale-Lake Bunyonyi and Kisoro Mgahinga routes, among others.
The call for action underscores the significance of comprehensive urban infrastructure upgrades to attract investment and enhance the overall living environment in Kampala.
