Kampala needs a 'Napoleon'
Kampala has existed as a city for 110 years. Proposals to improve the city roads and general welfare can be traced back to Prof. Simpson (1913), A.E Miriam (1931) to the current physical and fiscal planners.
Such proposals have included, ensuring good health standards, draining the marshes, setting plots with no right of subdivision, protection of water supply system, physical separation of settlements (residences) from industrial zones et cetera.
The city, however, needs a sustainable plan-one that will stand the test of time. The narrow street lanes, numerous slums, traffic jams and potholes, to mention but a few, need urgent attention but within a well-planned modernisation project.
Paris was at one time as disorderly as Kampala is today. It took the intervention of their leader, Napoleon III and one physical planner, Baron Haussman to turn Paris around.
Today its beauty is being ranked as one of the world's best. Houssan is said to have moved on foot to cover each and every bit of Paris and witness its problems.
Kampala needs money, a sustainable plan and a man ready to modernise it.
