KCCA Deputy Executive Director Benon Kigenyi confirmed that the agency met Kiggundu and instructed him to stop all activities immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200e<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe instructed him to halt all activities that are ongoing without the requisite statutory guidance and permission,\u201d Kigenyi said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200e<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200eHe added that Kiggundu must now focus only on clearing debris, ensuring stormwater flows freely, and maintaining hoarded sections to prevent flooding and public danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200e<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200eThe Nakivubo Channel is the largest stormwater and waste channel in Kampala, a vital piece of infrastructure that traverses the city for approximately 12.3 kilometres.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200e<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200eOriginating at the foothills of Makerere Hill, it was meant to act as a primary conduit for managing runoff from a vast and complex urban catchment area, which includes the highly populated Makerere Kivulu slum, three busy markets, and an industrial zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200e<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200eThe directive comes amidst a growing storm of criticism from Kampala leadership and environmental activists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200e<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200eLord Mayor Erias Lukwago accused the President of undermining established planning systems:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200e<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200e\u201cWe are witnessing a breakdown of state structures, system failure, and decay of institutional governance. What Mr. Museveni did undermine the powers of city leadership; he has invested himself in a city planner who now vets the plans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200e<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200eBy law, major infrastructure projects must be approved by KCCA under the Physical Planning Act and cleared by the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA). Covering a primary drainage system with buildings raises questions about compliance with both environmental regulations and urban planning standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200e<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Environmentalists also sounded alarm bells. Benedict Ntale, a climate activist, said the project would set a dangerous precedent:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200e\u201cI have never seen any drainage in the world with a building on top. If this is done in Uganda, it will be disastrous. Management will be hard, especially in the case of spillover, since even open drainage systems are blocked.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200e<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200eThe National Environment Management Authority (NEMA), the regulator of construction in wetlands and fragile ecosystems, also clarified that the project had not yet received approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200e<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200e\u201cWe have received a project brief from the developer. The project is still under review. &#8220;No decision has been made, and it will be studied thoroughly before any approval,\u201d&nbsp;said Naomi Karekaho, NEMA\u2019s Head of Communications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200e<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200eThe controversy has now drawn the attention of Parliament\u2019s Committee on Commissions, Statutory Authorities, and State Enterprises (Cosase), which on Friday summoned top officials and the developer to explain alleged irregularities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200e<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200eThose summoned include Gen. Kahinda Otafire (Minister for Internal Affairs), Minsa Kabanda (Minister for Kampala Metropolitan Affairs), Inspector General of Police Abas Byakagaba, KCCA Executive Director Sharifah Buzeki, Lord Mayor Lukwago, KCCA Council Speaker Zahara Luyirika, and Kiggundu himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200e<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200eIn a statement, Cosase said the enquiry seeks to establish \u201cwhether the redevelopment was legally sanctioned and whether oversight by KCCA and other agencies was properly executed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200e<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200eThe committee will also investigate governance lapses that allowed the project to advance despite regulatory gaps and widespread objections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200e<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200eThe halt marks a temporary suspension of a project that has deeply divided opinion, raising broader questions about executive authority, urban planning, environmental sustainability, and governance in Uganda\u2019s capital city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200e<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200eSupporters of Kiggundu\u2019s plan argue that it represents a bold attempt to repurpose neglected urban space and unlock commercial value. With Kampala\u2019s land scarcity, developing property above the channel could generate revenue, jobs, and modern infrastructure. Yet critics counter that the long-term economic risks outweigh the potential benefits.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200e<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200eFlood-related losses already cost Uganda millions of dollars annually, undermining productivity and damaging businesses in the capital.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kampala is no stranger to deadly flooding, with recent disasters in areas such as Bwaise, Kalerwe, and Katwe claiming lives and displacing so many.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200e<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr Charles Luzige, the assistant commissioner for Maritime Monitoring at the Ministry of Works and Transport earlier this year, amidst heavy rains, advised residents of Kampala and other urban centres to take up swimming lessons as a last line of defence against drowning, amid increasing incidents of urban flooding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Boy Fidel Leon&nbsp; \u200e The Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) has ordered an immediate halt to construction works along the
