Kampala Capital City Authority – KCCA Executive Director Ms Dorothy Kisaka yesterday Tuesday announced that the official take over of St. Balikudembe Market also known as Owino has taken effect. This was during a second mega visit she took with KCCA team at the market where she asked the vendors to organise elections for new leadership of the market replacing renown trader and chairman Godfrey Kayongo Nkajja.

Earlier Dorothy Kisaka said “Today, we had an early morning operation code named ‘walk through Owino Market’ downtown. Our goal is to clear the streets of street vending and move them back into the right place in the markets.”

Kisaka also thanked traders for observing COVID 19 standard operating procedures as directed by Ministry of Health in the market as well as commending them for participating in the concluded general elections.

HICGI News Agency spoke to several vendors who welcomed the move saying this will solve several challenges they faced under private administration.
