This was followed by a meeting at your premises and site inspection,\u201d a February 8 letter from the lawyers to the project manager reads in part.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe flooding further resulted in interruption with the smooth running of our client\u2019s business and caused financial loss, undue inconvenience and loss of business to our client,\u201d the letter adds.<\/p>\n<p>The lawyers contend that it was agreed that the damage was entirely attributed to the negligence of the project officers.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Penny Kiiza, an official from Seroma Ltd, yesterday claimed to have lost spare parts of 21 vehicles that had been parked in the yard, and several property, including a fuel tanker, two vehicles, office computers and scanners were damaged in the floods.<\/p>\n<p>When contacted, Mr Lawrence Pario, the project manager, said the rains also caused flooding in other parts of Kampala city.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat day, it flooded in the whole of Kampala City, it was unfortunate that our site was near Seroma but we have engaged our risk insurers to handle this issue,\u201d Mr Pario said.<\/p>\n<p>Once completed, the project is expected to reduce chronic traffic jam in the greater Kampala and improve the drainage system around Clock Tower.<\/p>\n<p>According to the project design, the flyover will be half a kilometre long.<\/p>\n<p>The road from Shoprite at Queen\u2019s Way towards Katwe will be widened to have more lanes and the redesign will cover half a kilometre.<\/p>\n<p>The project will also improve Nsambya, Mukwano and Ggaba roads traffic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
