The Minister of Works and Transport, Gen Edward Katumba Wamala, has warned roadside vendors about pedestrian walkways, urging them to vacate the areas to ensure smooth traffic flow.
He made this call during a monitoring exercise of the Najjanankumbi-Busaabala road works in Wakiso District on October 3.
"The walkways put in place for pedestrians are occupied by vendors. This means the pedestrians have no way to walk, blocking traffic," Gen. Katumba noted.
He emphasised that food vendors are particularly problematic, as they block trails by placing their tables in pedestrian walkways.
Gen Katumba also highlighted other challenges in the ongoing road project, such as difficulties in securing right-of-way access due to compensation demands from affected communities.
