“This is a big achievement, and we be- lieve that this is due to technological advancement in revenue collection as well as closing collection gaps in the system. This amount is going to rise even more because all revenue sources are now automated, as we aspire to further enhance our collection capabilities to realise the vision of a vibrant, attractive and sustainable city,” Ms Kisaka, who was flanked by other KCCA directors, said.
She said the revenue collected will enable KCCA to invest in crucial infrastructure projects such as road rehabilitation, street lighting, drainage improvement, and solid waste management. “KCCA is adavamcing the Smart City Agenda which is hinged on three priorities technology advancement to ease service delivery, secondly infrastructure development and the third priority is people wellbeing which focuses on livelihoods and homesteads empowerment” She outlined several achievements based on priority areas.
“This finacial year, our goal is to complete the 80 kilometers, covering 41 roads under Kampala City Roads Rehabilitation Project, KCRRP. A few are already tarmacked and await final touches, that is Kabega road, old Mubende road, Luwafu road, Wamala road, but we want to finish at least 41 roads. Together with the new GKMA project which is soon coming on board, the roads infrastructure will be greatly enhanced.
