Wakiso Roads in Disrepair Amid Heavy Rainfall, Causing Traffic Chaos

Heavy rains in Wakiso District have exposed poorly maintained roads, leading to congestion and accidents in Kasangati, Nansana, and Kyengera. Flooded roads, potholes, and collapsed drainage systems affect personal vehicles and commercial transport.

District officials say delayed road maintenance contracts and limited funding are to blame. Businesses report delivery delays, while boda-boda riders face higher accident risks.

Why It Matters

Infrastructure failures disrupt commuting, trade, and safety in Wakiso, one of Uganda’s most economically active districts.

What to Watch

District repair schedules, funding approvals, and public feedback on completed works.
