Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba has announced that he will take full control of the entire budget for roads in Kampala. Speaking publicly, he said, “I shall say one more thing today. The entire budget for roads in Kampala will be under my control. I will determine who builds and repairs roads.” This bold move places the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) directly under his supervision.
For years, road construction and maintenance in Kampala have been handled by different government departments and local authorities, sometimes causing delays and disputes over contracts. By centralizing control, Gen Muhoozi aims to speed up road repairs and new projects while ensuring that work is done efficiently and meets high standards.
Residents and experts are closely watching how this new approach will affect the city. Many hope it will lead to smoother roads and faster development, while others raise concerns about the concentration of power and the need for transparency. Whatever the outcome, Kampala’s roads are entering a new chapter under the direct oversight of Gen Muhoozi, promising changes that could shape the city’s future for years to come.
