In a major infrastructure breakthrough for the nation's capital,the landmark Nakivubo Channel Rehabilitation Project has reached a pivotal milestone, now standing at 75% completion. With a firm and final deadline set for the end of this year, the project led by developer Dr. Hamis Kiggundu is poised to successfully conquer one of Kampala's most persistent challenges: chronic flooding. This isn't just a story about a drainage channel; it's the story of a city reclaiming its future.
A recent site inspection by the project lead,Dr. Hamis Kiggundu, has confirmed the tremendous progress. The massive concrete waterway, snaking through the heart of the city, is rapidly taking its final form. This state-of-the-art channel represents a transformative upgrade to Kampala's core infrastructure, engineered to permanently resolve the flooding that has disrupted businesses, damaged properties, and paralyzed parts of the city center for decades.
During the inspection,Dr. Kiggundu expressed strong confidence in his team, reaffirming an unwavering commitment to see this national priority project fully completed and operational before the end of this calendar year.
 This bold declaration provides the city with a clear and tangible light at the end of the tunnel, turning a long-held vision into an imminent reality. The determination to meet this deadline underscores a promise made and now, a promise being delivered.
The benefits of this project extend far beyond flood control.For months, residents and commuters have demonstrated remarkable patience navigating the necessary construction-related diversions.
 The project's final phase signals that the significant traffic disruptions are temporary and soon to be a memory. The completion will not only restore smooth traffic flow but also heralds a new era of urban mobility and accessibility for a revitalized Kampala.
The successful execution of the Nakivubo Channel project stands as a powerful testament to what focused vision and determined execution can achieve.
Under the leadership of Dr. Hamis Kiggundu, this initiative is set to be remembered as a cornerstone achievement in Kampala's development story—a legacy infrastructure project that will safeguard the city and fuel its growth for generations to come.
