THIS IMPUNITY MUST BE STOPPED !! Today, I was in the Central Business District (CBD) to assess the status of our drainage systems following numerous complaints from city residents, particularly after the heavy rains experienced yesterday. I wish to assure Nairobi residents that our engineers are actively on the...

We cannot allow a few individuals in Eastleigh to conduct business in the wrong places at the expense of public order and safety. At the moment, accessing a shop or doing business in Eastleigh is a nightmare anyone driving into the area can take not less than five hours due to the congestion. This is unacceptable. Hawkers are now operating on the actual road, blocking access to the extent that residents cannot even receive emergency services- ambulances and fire engines are unable to reach patients or respond to emergencies along Jam Street because of hawkers and private cars obstructing the way. On top of this, garbage has been carelessly dumped into stormwater drainage systems, making our work even more difficult and worsening the health risks in the area. Today, I issued notices directing all those operating on the actual road to vacate immediately, failure to which strict enforcement action will follow. Shop owners who have extended their products onto road reserves will also face consequences, as this interferes with the free movement of people. Today, I issued notices directing all those operating on road reserves to vacate immediately, failure to which strict enforcement action will follow. Notices were also issued to those engaged in illegal dumping and to individuals who have constructed houses blocking drainage systems. Shop owners who have extended their products onto road reserves will likewise face consequences, as this interferes with the free movement of people. A time has come when we must make some unpopular decisions to achieve the desired results. I am going to camp in Eastleigh to ensure compliance and will not hesitate to arrest both landlords and business operators involved in illegal dumping, despite having previously been served with notices to stop. Order must be restored in Eastleigh.

Today’s heavy rainfall put to test our drainage systems in Kampala, and the results are encouraging, although we have not yet achieved our target level of resilience. Areas including Sebana Road, Clock Tower,forest mall, golf course and Allen Road experienced flash floods, but in most of them the water cleared within about seven minutes, compared to past incidents where flooding would last for hours or days and disrupt businesses immensly. This improvement follows recent Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) drainage upgrades, including the construction of 16 crossing culverts along Allen Road and Sebana Road into Nakivubo Channel has increased the city’s capacity to tame storm water. Additional works are ongoing, including longitudinal drainage along Ben Kiwanuka Street and a planned box culvert on Namirembe Road under the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area Urban Development Project. Two buildings, Totala Business and Qualicell, experienced basement flooding due to drainage challenges internal to them, and the KCCA drainage team has been quickly deployed with suction trucks to support them evacuate the water. As drainage improvement works continue, inconvenience caused by this natural occurrence is regreted. Our call on residents, traders & building owners is to dispose of waste responsibly and avoid blocking drainage channels. Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) is working to build a cleaner, safer, and more flood-resilient Kampala.

Earlier today, I led an extensive inspection tour of critical drainage infrastructure and flood mitigation projects across Lekki, Agungi, Ikota and Ajiran, and what we uncovered demands immediate and decisive action. The persistent flooding in Agungi despite the completion of major drainage infrastructure over two years ago has a clear cause. At Ajiran, we discovered that a land owning family deliberately blocked the outfall channel that was specifically designed to discharge stormwater by gravity into the Lagos Lagoon. I have directed that the outlet be reopened immediately in the overriding public interest. Let me state clearly: no individual or family has the right to obstruct natural watercourses or public drainage infrastructure regardless of their land titles. We are not taking anyone's land. We are simply restoring the channel to allow water to flow freely and protect thousands of residents from avoidable flooding. At Megamond Estate in Ikota, we found that developers had illegally reclaimed part of the Ikota River and commenced construction without obtaining the necessary environmental and drainage approvals. Enforcement and abatement notices had been served previously but were ignored. From tomorrow morning, all illegal structures erected on reclaimed drainage alignments without approval in that estate will be removed. This action sends a clear message that Lagos will not tolerate encroachment on drainage channels or public infrastructure. I also reiterate that any development involving wetlands or water related projects must obtain an Environmental Impact Assessment and Wetland Clearance from the Ministry before any reclamation or construction begins. We do not care whose ox is gored. It is unfair to law abiding residents and unacceptable because it compromises public safety. I urge every Lagosian to remain vigilant. The illegal activities we uncovered today came to our attention through whistleblowers. We investigated, verified, and acted. See something, say something - constructively. We are fully committed to a #CleanerLagos and a #GreaterLagos.
