In the recent revamped battle for the expansion of Kampala, Kampala Minister Hon. Beti Kamya has told faultfinders to stop individualizing the move because she took over office when the bill had already been tabled before parliament. The proposed changes in the KCCA Act 2010 Amendment Bill are part of plans to expand Kampala’s borders to Wakiso, Mukono and Wakiso suburbs.
“I found this bill in parliament, it’s dated 2015, it was presented by Hon. Frank Tumwebaze in the 9th parliament, and I just inherited it,” Hon. Kamya stated.
“This bill was submitted to parliament in 2015, a lot of work was done and when I came I just added to it. When we came to office, we proposed further amendment of this bill,” she added.
Kamya also revealed that the expansion has nothing to do with politics but rather an intended development strategy that will benefit the entire public.
“This isn’t about boundaries and territories; it’s about common interests in user facilities like taxes, infrastructure and even non-material things,” Kamya explained
