@santamediauganda: The Government of Uganda has issued an immediate vacate order to all traders operating in commercial building basements across Kampala, following a decisive Cabinet resolution passed on November 9, 2026. The resolution strictly prohibits the illegal conversion of building basements into retail shops, shopping arcades, and commercial stalls. Cabinet reaffirmed that basement levels are legally gazetted strictly for vehicle parking and building infrastructure utilities to alleviate severe traffic congestion and mitigate urban flooding risks across the central business district. #uganda #santamediaug
