Following
a Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) directive to forcefully vacate people
said to be occupying part of the railway’s land located within slum areas of
Kampala many families, children living in some areas of Namuwongo were affected. Residents
of Kampala district in Uganda, members of parliament, local leaders felt the
cry of the vulnerable, innocent children and requested KCCA to halt the
exercise which took place on the 28th of July 2014 or
provide an alternative space to the
slum dwellers before demolishing their small buildings. We hope the situation
will change soon before schools open for Academic Year 2014 Term 3.
