Hamis Kiggundu Unveils Transformative Plan To Revamp Nakivubo Channel

City businessman Hajji Hamis Kigundu of Ham  Enterprises has embarked on a transformative project to redevelop the Nakivubo channel.

KAMPALA – Prominent city businessman Hajji Hamis Kigundu, through his Ham Enterprises, has announced an ambitious urban renewal project to rehabilitate Kampala's notorious Nakivubo drainage channel into a modern, eco-friendly waterway.  

The proposed transformation seeks to address what has long been an environmental crisis in the heart of Kampala's business district. For years, the open channel has carried untreated sewage, industrial waste, and floodwaters through the city centre, creating health hazards and urban blight.  

Kigundu's vision reimagines the channel as:  
- An underground drainage system with advanced waste filtration  

• 
  - Green public spaces and pedestrian walkways along its course  

• 

  
  - Flood control infrastructure to protect surrounding areas  

• 

  
  - Recreational areas to enhance urban livability  
• 

The project aims to resolve chronic flooding while creating new public amenities where pollution once dominated.
