Fast-Tracking of GKMA-UDP Road Projects Gains Momentum in the district.

The district is accelerating the implementation of key road infrastructure projects under the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area Urban Development Programme (GKMA-UDP), following a joint fact-finding and baseline verification exercise.
A multi-sectoral team from the Departments of Works, Community Development, and Natural Resources assessed progress on the Seguku–Nalumunye–Bandwe Road (7.5km), Namulanda–Bweya–Kajjansi Road (8.9km), and Seguku Link (0.9km). The projects are being executed by China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) and China Wu Yi Company Limited, with supervision from Intra-Consult Ltd.
The team reviewed compliance with key statutory requirements, including environmental clearances, physical planning permits, workspace registration, and water abstraction approvals, while also evaluating site suitability.
Team Leader Eng. Lillian emphasized the urgency of securing all approvals to avoid delays. Contractors and the Resident Engineer committed to fast-tracking compliance processes to keep the projects on schedule.
Earlier, stakeholders convened to discuss the ongoing upgrade of the Jenina–Naluvule Road to bituminous standards. District leaders, led by LCV Chairperson Hon. Matia Lwanga Bwanika, called for strong community support, highlighting the role of improved road infrastructure in enhancing connectivity and driving Wakiso’s urban transformation.
The Resident District Commissioner reaffirmed government oversight to ensure accountability, transparency, and value for money.
Once completed, the GKMA-UDP road projects are expected to significantly improve mobility, stimulate economic growth, and enhance service delivery across the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area.
