Dear Mayor
- Just around, Professor Apollo Nsibambi Road – a very young man with an American emblem handkerchief fastened on his head, safari boots and trimmed jeans well below the knees, puffing on a heavy roll of marijuana cigarette stick, staggers head-on into our BodaBoda. - BodaBoda swings to the sides, missing him by a few centimetres, I stop my rider well ahead to watch a phenomenon. - The man is high – in spite of this we continue on with our business- the rest is history…….. - Here comes the ghetto and uncontrolled television media- K’Nigeria. - After of my daily cores – a friend directed me to a good dish downtown – an African lunch to be precise. - Lunch goes for a single note, a 1000 bobs not so much to ask questions. Moreless ”step not on mine ” but with benches and a single sorts of a dirty table. - FELLOW CITIZENS, WELCOME TO KAMPALA - UGANDA CAPITAL CITY, OF SOME MORE 100 YEARS AGO. - My lady cook had no Mukwano star soap or the little was long finished. I revert to my handkerchief to do the needful after a nice meal. - Goat meat, Wugari (Posho) and some green vegetables, prepared with a human touch and very delicious indeed. But………….DIRTINESS IS AN AFRICAN AFFAIR. - After some few hours – I got a terrible high temperature, preceded with severe grumbling stomach; a close examination reveals a bacteria infection. - A quick and close medical combat, ‘am still arrive, kicking and back on Kampala streets. - Is it the food vendors or KAMPALA CITY COUNCIL – blame it on me. - That was the day before this………….. - I’ll comeback to that – another day. - I have spared thIS afternoon to do a thorough study of KOSOVO, an upcoming and thriving wetland suburban CITY sprawl, now occupied by the lowerly of our society. - Kampala is expanding well beyond all the seven hills. - And Kamwokya Kitoro ´am moving their soon - Kwate Kinyoro will be covered too. - Behind Bulange, ride straight along Ssentema road until you come to where the road almost ends in a small trading centre turn left, I direct my BodaBoda pilot to move forward. - Kosovo is an emerging sub-urban enclave filled with all sorts of people from Banyarwanda, Kenyanese, Sudanese you name it. It is a free world down there. - To new arrivals from all corners of Uganda – a free city has opened up in Kosovo! - Hurriedly papyrus to wattle made houses are coming up quickly; - Chicken, goats, pigs, cats, dogs are crammed at times into one house with their masters – a jumble. - Good for waragi distilling, pig rearing, prostitute trade, guessed life style combined with cheap city live – KOSOVO is still a virgin city suburb of immeasurable proportions. - At Kikandwa – near the backpackers, garbage dump offer free pig daily feasting. - Kosovo is Kosovo and one wonders how KAMPALA CITY COUNCIL could at least not plan it for the poor - NO they will do it, a Namuwongo approach 2025. - A quick survey reveals – a planned cemetery, remnants of Colonial Planning can readily be seen at least from carbon dating 1960. - We are Independent! - On my way here, I stopped over the former Uganda Commercial Bank main branch - with unstoppable vigour building still goes on. Imagine crested towers remodelled not to look crest towers. - Opposite Bank of Baroda I have noticed an elderly woman of some 70 years or so – she keeps walking around to get a coin, call it begging. - Last time I gave her transport back to Gayaza – she is still around. - Fellow Citizens we are liberated – well in upper class enclaves some beings are well better liberated than others. - From the French agency for development Kampala City Council has now money to build public toilets in 35 parishes. So apply now if you want a tender to do the work. - The bill according to KCC for redesigning Clock Tower, Jinja Road and Kampala Entebbe Road junction is shs 32 billion – the contracts are the Japanese according to the City Engineer. They are also the funder, the designers,planners, engineers and so on. - Meanwhile Makerere University refutes allegation that it can’t teach engineering Aaah I meant sciences courses.
