The Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCAUG) has officially launched the “Kampala City Green and Clean” campaign following the evacuation of street vendors from key parts of the city. This move is part of a wider effort to restore order, protect the environment, and improve the general appearance of Kampala.
The authority has made it clear that discipline and responsibility are at the center of this new phase for the city.After the removal of street vendors, KCCAUG has focused on protecting the Green Zone, an area meant to remain neat, organized, and environmentally friendly. Authorities have strictly directed that there should be no foot-passes through the Green Zone.
Residents and visitors are encouraged to use designated walkways instead of crossing over the grass. This measure is meant to protect the lawns and allow grass and plants to grow properly without being damaged.The Green and Clean campaign is not only about enforcing rules but also about creating awareness. KCCAUG wants people to understand that keeping the city clean is a shared responsibility.
By protecting green spaces, the city can enjoy cleaner air, a more beautiful environment, and a healthier atmosphere for everyone. Green areas also improve the image of the city and make it more welcoming to visitors and investors.The evacuation of street vendors was a bold decision aimed at reducing congestion and improving order in the city center. While street vending supports many livelihoods, unregulated activities can lead to overcrowding and littering.
Through this campaign, KCCAUG hopes to balance economic activity with proper city planning and environmental protection.The message behind the initiative is simple but powerful: discipline is everything. A clean and green Kampala will only be possible if citizens respect public spaces and follow the set guidelines. With cooperation between the authorities and the public, Kampala can continue to grow into a well-organized, attractive, and sustainable city for present and future generations.
