The district Launches UGX 37.5 billion Kayunga–Ssenge–Kawanda Road Project.

Residents and leaders in Wakiso District yesterday witnessed a major infrastructure milestone with the official groundbreaking ceremony for the 6.5-kilometre Kayunga–Ssenge–Kawanda Road.
The UGX 37.5 billion project, funded by the World Bank, Agence Française de Développement (AFD), and the Government of Uganda, will be implemented over 18 months by Bouch Uganda Limited in partnership with Nyoro Construction Company Limited.
The ceremony, held at Ssenge in Wakiso Town Council, was presided over by the Undersecretary in the Ministry of Kampala Capital City and Metropolitan Affairs, Monica Edemachu, alongside key district leaders and officials.
In her remarks, Ms. Edemachu emphasized the importance of delivering quality work within the agreed timelines, noting that the programme is results-oriented and closely monitored under the Office of the President. She also confirmed that adequate funding has been secured and indicated the possibility of a second phase, subject to performance.
District leaders underscored the need for accountability, value for money, and community involvement. They called on residents to support the project, protect construction materials, and utilize proper channels to address grievances.
The project will be supervised by Interconsults Limited in association with Nivaw Enterprises and Nova Consults. Once completed, the road will be upgraded to bitumen standard, featuring a 12-metre-wide double carriageway, drainage systems, asphalt surfacing, solar street lighting, and pedestrian walkways. It will connect Hoima Road through Ssenge to Bombo, improving mobility in a key commercial corridor.
With 80% of the required right of way already secured, stakeholders expressed optimism about timely implementation. Upon completion, the road is expected to significantly enhance transport connectivity, stimulate local businesses, and drive socio-economic development across Wakiso District.
