Mahakama Kuu imetoa amri ya muda kuizuia Halmashauri ya Jiji la Jinja kuwafukuza wafanyabiashara wadogo wanaouza barabarani na waendesha vibanda, baada ya wafanyabiashara hao kufungua kesi wakidai hatua hiyo inahatarisha maisha yao ya kiuchumi na haikutoa maeneo mbadala ya kufanyia biashara.
Wafanyabiashara hao waliiambia mahakama kuwa notisi ya kuwafukuza ilitolewa bila mpango wowote wa kuwapatia sehemu nyingine za kuendelea na shughuli zao za biashara. Walisisitiza kuwa vibanda na meza zao za barabarani ndiyo chanzo chao kikuu cha kipato na tegemeo la maisha ya kila siku.
Kupitia wakili wao, Sharif Ssemaganda, walieleza kuwa utekelezaji wa agizo hilo ungewaathiri moja kwa moja kwa kuwanyima kipato chao kikuu.
Akijibu maombi hayo, Naibu Msajili wa Mahakama Kuu anayekaimu, Robert Mukanza, alitoa amri ya muda inayozuia Halmashauri ya Jiji la Jinja kuendelea na mpango wa kuwafukuza wafanyabiashara hao hadi suala hilo litakaposikilizwa na kuamuliwa na mahakama.

A High Court has temporarily blocked Jinja City Council from evicting street vendors and kiosk operators after they argued that the eviction threatened their livelihoods and offered no alternative spaces, highlighting tensions between urban planning and informal trade.
A High Court order has temporarily blocked Jinja City Council from evicting vendors and kiosk operators, following a legal challenge that argued the move threatened livelihoods and lacked alternative arrangements.
A group of vendors and kiosk operators in Jinja City has successfully challenged a city council eviction notice, arguing that it was issued without providing alternative spaces for them to operate.
Through their lawyer, Sharif Ssemaganda, the traders told the court that the eviction directive jeopardized their primary source of income. Many rely entirely on their roadside kiosks and stalls for daily sustenance.
Responding to the application, Acting High Court Deputy Registrar Robert Mukanza issued a temporary restraining order preventing Jinja City Council from executing the planned evictions.
The order will remain in place until the matter is fully heard and determined.
City authorities have pledged to comply with the court’s directive as the legal proceedings continue.
The dispute arises amid ongoing efforts by the city council to clear vendors and kiosk operators from several streets, as part of a campaign to improve urban planning, orderliness, and sanitation in Jinja City.
