Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) has cleared the complete demolition of the remaining structures at St. Balikuddembe Market, as well as another structure along the Channel that had been partially demolished last week by businessman Hamis Kiggundu.
The recommendation followed technical assessments of the buildings affected during earlier works along the Nakivubo drainage corridor.
KCCA spokesperson Daniel Nuwabine said following the unauthorised overnight demolition on March 7th, an Inter-Agency Technical Committee overseeing the redevelopment of the Nakivubo Channel was tasked to inspect the area and assess the condition of the remaining buildings.
According to the committee’s findings, structures that remained standing at St. Balikuddembe Market, together with another building along the drainage channel that had been partially demolished, were found to be destabilised and unsafe.
