According to New Vision, Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) identified 68 flood-prone hotspots across the city’s five divisions, highlighting the urgent need to improve the city’s drainage infrastructure. The report attributes recurring flooding to inadequate funding, clogged and encroached drainage channels, and the delayed implementation of the Kampala Drainage Master Plan. KCCA has proposed measures including desilting drainage channels, constructing new drainage infrastructure, and widening key channels to mitigate flooding. The article also underscores the need for increased government investment, stronger environmental protection, and proper planning to build a more resilient urban drainage system.
