In August, the contractors, China National Complete Plant Import and Export Corporation Limited wanted to hand over the market to Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja for commissioning but she declined to receive it because of incomplete works. Key among the works was the drainage system on the rooftop, which had not been installed fully plus access roads that were yet to be constructed. The review of registers is one of the key exercises that the government is conducting as it looks forward to opening the market. Vendors, and sometimes non-vendors secure multiple stalls in markets and subsequently rent them out to vendors at inflated fees. Bukenya says that they don't want such cases to crop up in Busega that's why they are registering vendors, both those with stalls and those who are currently employed on people's stalls such that when there is more space, they can also acquire independent stalls for themselves. The vendors shall be relocated to the new market a few meters away. Bukenya says that they have constituted a committee of more than five members including vendors to register the vendors to enable them to secure stalls or space in the new market. The officer says that they have involved vendors on the relocation committee such that they can closely identify their colleagues in the market to prevent outsiders from registering as vendors and or people from getting more stalls for purposes of sub-renting.Ĭomplaints of sub-renting stalls and Lock-ups have featured prominently in newly constructed government markets including Wandegeya. Some vendors sell their merchandise from the walkways due to space limitations in the sorry-looking market. The government embarked on the construction of the market in 2015 through the Markets and Agricultural Trade Improvement Programme (MATIP) project through joint funding with the Arab Bank of Economic Development in Africa (BADEA).Ĭonstruction is more than 99 percent complete, according to officials from the Ministry of Local Government, which is handling the project. They say the stalls are well constructed, the lighting system installed, storage rooms constructed and the floor paved among other works. As works come to a close, Henry Bukenya, the KCCA manager of Commercial Services in charge of Markets, says that they decided to conduct a profile of all vendors to get an updated list of the more than 1000 vendors selling groceries and fish in old lockups and makeshift structures in the old Busega market near the Busega roundabout. Kampala Capital City Authority-KCCA is in the process of reviewing the register of vendors who will operate in the newly built Busega market in Lubaga division.
