During the weekly Uganda Law Society/RNB media event at Kololo this Thursday, KCCA spokesman Daniel Nuwabwine (himself a lawyer) thanked the Uganda Law Society members and the executive leadership for their strategic silence as KCCA intensified operations to evict and force vendors/abatembeyi off Kampala streets.
He said the ULS is always very outspoken against such controversial decisions by key GoU MDAs yet this hadn’t been the case against the anti-Batembeyi operations in the City.
Nuwabwine explained such resentful pronouncements by the ULS can be image-bruising and therefore very stressful. He said this is something for which KCCA, whose Executive Director Sharifah Buzeki he represented at the ULS event, was grateful that the RNB leadership allowed the vendors’ eviction to go on without any interference or condemnation from members of the learned fraternity.
Nuwabwine talked about many other things including explaining the laws applicable under which KCCA acted to enforce a new trading order in Kampala. He also publicized the alternative work spaces that had been made available to the evicted vendors.
The KCCA Publicist, who is a resident of Kisenyi, concluded that ULS silence as the operation got underway is indicative that lawyers too support the need for a better organized Kampala City.
