Sometime ago, the
taxi park at Kajjansi trading centre was changed from opposite Uganda Clays Ltd
on the ground that it was located in another Sub – county (Makindye Ssabaggabo). The taxi park was put in the parking meant to
be used by vehicles offloading goods for the market as well as customers for
the Kajjansi market. Given that
development, I called on the Chairman LC III Ssisa Sub – county Mr. Byekwaso
and talked to him that the arrangement was wrong given the traffic flow and
that there was need to have all vehicles offloading to the market to be
restricted to the market park so as to leave the Nakigalala road with traffic
to and fro Nakigalala side. Recently,
there has been traffic jam at Kajjansi in the evenings partly because the
parking meant for the market customers is equally used by the taxi’s loading
customers to Kampala.
Monday, 1st
September 2014 saw another development where all taxis from Entebbe side have to
join the already congested situation.
While the taxi park at the market at Kajjansi is already congested, it
has no capacity to hold taxis from Entebbe that have to load as well as
offload. This is complicated more by the
narrow nature of the road to Nakigalala, taking into consideration the traffic
from Entebbe as well as Kampala that wants to join Nakigalala road as well as
that from Nakigalala side.
Government MUST
come in very fast to see this arrangement abandoned.
