Statement on the state of Roads in Kampala
KCCA management issued a detailed statement on the state of roads in Kampala City indicating the pothole infested roads and the roads in perfect condition.
The Executive Director Dorothy Kisaka informed citizens that we cannot trivialise the issue of potholes in the city, its real and needs attention because it affects the well being of road users. Potholes drive up road user costs through frequent vehicle repairs, long travel times, high accident rates, and others
She also said that KCCA routinely monitors and collects data on the state of the city roads through the road condition surveys. By December 2022, KCCA had recorded an area of 8,500 Square meters of potholes, spread across the five divisions.
In December KCCA started to work on the potholes in earnest with the funding that was available. That intervention covered 37 roads, listed below, in five divisions. Kisaka also enumerated another 31 roads which are in perfect condition.
However, Kisaka said in this final quarter of the financial year, 2022-23, the Government of Uganda has now released the development budget that had been withheld in past quarters. The fixing of the roads is going to commence using the funds availed and cover the potholes as much as the funds can.
