MP Questions KCCA Over Bars Hosting ‘Nyash Night’ and ‘Pantless Night’ Events

[Archival Sense]

​

Parliament’s Health Committee has questioned Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) over allegations that it had approved bars hosting events branded as ‘Nyash Night’ and ‘Pantless Night’, with a Member of Parliament raising concerns about their potential implications for HIV prevention.

The concerns were raised during the committee’s oversight visit to Kampala on October 12, 2026, when the MP asked KCCA to explain the measures it was taking to support Uganda’s efforts to end HIV as a public health threat by 2030.

During the engagement, the legislator questioned whether the authority’s approval of establishments hosting such events was consistent with efforts to promote public health and prevent new HIV infections.

The MP argued that the promotions surrounding the events could encourage behaviour associated with increased HIV transmission, calling on KCCA to clarify its role in regulating entertainment venues and ensuring that public health considerations are taken into account.

The discussion placed the spotlight on the responsibility of local authorities in regulating bars and other entertainment establishments, particularly in a city with a vibrant nightlife industry.

KCCA is responsible for several aspects of city management, including licensing and regulating businesses within Kampala. The committee’s questions raised concerns about how such regulatory responsibilities intersect with public health priorities, including HIV prevention.

Uganda has set 2030 as a target for ending HIV as a public health threat, a goal that requires sustained prevention efforts, public awareness, access to testing and treatment, and measures to reduce new infections.

The committee’s inquiry sought to establish what KCCA was doing to contribute to that national objective, particularly through its regulation of entertainment venues.

However, the allegations raised during the meeting do not, on their own, establish that the events lead to increased HIV transmission. Further details about the specific approvals, the events’ activities and KCCA’s response were not provided in the information available.
