A week ago It was alleged that City businessman Kiggundu Hamis, commonly known as Ham, had started erecting a new building on top of Nakivubo Channel.
The information was circulated on social media by different social media users, who showed concerns on the illegal constructions.
Speaking to a few vendors and the people working within & around Owino Market, we were informed that construction is done day and night.
A one Siraji Sserunjogi alleged that the construction is by the Ham Engineers, under the watch of Kampala Capital City Authority task force.
Looking at the demography of Kampala, the construction on this channel, it could block water (access to) the channel at a time when the city is flooding.
Nakivubo Channel collects water from the areas of Nsambya, Muyenga, katwe,Town Centre, Industrial area, Namwongo, and other parts of the city.
People working around the channel claim that security intimidates them whenever they attempt to capture video clips or take photos.
"If what he’s doing is approved and within the law, why are some people intimidating and confiscating the phones of tenants on his building who dare take videos of the construction works going on here? -vendors.
"After months of back and forth with folks in St. Balikuddembe market, including a major tiff with the Catholic Church, this site was sealed off and construction works done in the night"-vendors.
