Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Kampala businessman, Hamis Kiggundu, commonly known as Ham has cleared the air on erecting structures atop Nakivubo channel.<\/b><\/p>\n

There have been reports of the businessman erecting structures on top of the channel which has raised the dust, especially by environmentalists.<\/p>\n

However, in a statement by Kiggundu\u2019s company, Ham Enterprises, the businessman said the structure is part of the redevelopment of Nakivubo Stadium, adding that it is part of plans to enhance the city\u2019s infrastructure.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe projects associated with Hamz Nakivubo Stadium are not only vital for local growth but are also essential to the overall development strategy of our community,\u201d Ham said.<\/p>\n

According to the businessman, the ongoing project being part of Nakivubo Stadium redevelopment, it was approved by Kampala Capital City Authority(KCCA).<\/p>\n

\u201cThis regulatory body plays a key role in overseeing all development projects within the city, ensuring they meet necessary standards and compliance measures. Therefore, any claims suggesting that these developments are unauthorized do not reflect the established facts,\u201d Ham said.<\/p>\n

The businessman dismissed claims that the ongoing construction is responsible for floods, especially in St.Balikuddembe market after the Saturday heavy downpour.<\/p>\n

He explained that away from rumours, the structure has been constructed on top of the water channel , leaving space below for water to flow freely.<\/p>\n

\u201cAttributing recent flooding events solely to these projects overlooks the broader environmental context affecting our entire country. We must approach these discussions with a comprehensive understanding of the challenges we face.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kiggundu however said he is open to dialogue and community support while recognizing the role of KCCA in facilitating the city\u2019s growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us embrace the opportunities that responsible investments bring, as they are instrumental in shaping a prosperous future for our city,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
