Rains cut off Kampala suburbs 
 
BRAVE? A cyclist rides through a flood on Nansana-Nabweru road at lubigi on 
Hoima road on Tuesday
 
By Chris Kiwawulo 
A five-hour traffic jam in Kampala yesterday added to the misery caused by the 
flooding of the Bwaise-Lubigi river that had earlier displaced hundreds of 
residents. 
Heavy rains on Monday and Wednesday evening caused flooding that blocked both 
the Kampala-Hoima and Gayaza-Bwaise roads. The water got to half the height of 
a saloon car. 
Bodaboda cyclists took advantage of the jams on the Bombo and to Kawaala roads 
to charge up to sh2,000 for trips to the city and for up to sh3,000, energetic 
youths rolled their trousers knee-high to push vehicles, whose engines had 
stalled in the flood water. 
The blockage on the Kampala-Hoima Road occurred at Nansana, about six miles 
from the city centre, forcing traffic to divert to Bwaise through Kawaala. 
In Kawempe, the blockage was at Kalerwe and motorists could not cross from 
Bwaise to Gayaza road. 
Wakiso district chairman Eng. Ian Kyeyune said he would work with Kampala City 
Council (KCC) to solve the problem. 
He said, �I talked to KCC, specifically Kawempe division and we have a 
programme to counter flooding of the river.� 
�We want inter-regional planning because KCC has road project funds,� Kyeyune 
said. 
He attributed the flooding to silting of the river and yesterday wrote to the 
Minister for Works, Transport and Communication, John Nasasira, pressing for 
action. 
�Murram roads cause silting and tarmacking stopped at Kawaala junction that 
separates Wakiso from Kampala,� Kyeyune said. But Kawempe chairman Nasser 
Takuba said whenever he contacted Wakiso about cleaning the river, the district 
did not respond. 
�It is good the chairman is willing to work on the problem with us. But i have 
not received any official communication about the issue,� Takuba said. 
The floods that on Monday displaced hundreds of resident, forced Bwaise 
National Water and Sewerage Corporation zonal offices to shift to a nearby 
building. 
At Happy Hours Nursery school, lessons were suspended after water filled the 
classrooms.
