The Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) has launched a large scale road clean up exercise across Kampala beginning at midnight on March 7, 2026, in a move aimed at making the city cleaner and more organized.
The night-time operation saw KCCA teams deployed to major roads and streets to remove waste, clear debris and improve the general sanitation of the city. Authorities say the exercise is part of ongoing efforts to restore order and hygiene in the capital and improve the urban environment for residents, businesses and visitors.
The clean-up campaign follows a series of enforcement actions by KCCA, including the eviction of roadside vendors who had occupied sidewalks and road reserves. City authorities have also issued a directive to remove many boda boda motorcycles from parts of the city centre, arguing that the measures are necessary to reduce congestion and improve safety.
The initiative also comes in the wake of recent floods that affected several parts of the city. Many residents and observers have linked the flooding to challenges in Kampala’s drainage system, with blocked channels and waste disposal cited as major contributing factors.
