Ham Kiggundu messes with drains and floods Kampala
KCCA leaders found big problems with city businessman Hamis Kiggundu. They say he messed with city officials who run Kampala. The Lord Mayor's team told the City Council that Ham built stuff where water needs to flow. This caused major flooding when rain hit hard. About seven people died after the recent heavy rain flooded Kampala. Johnmary Ssebuwufu explained to the Council how rich people build on drainage paths. He pointed at Ham Kiggundu as the main culprit. These illegal buildings block water paths.
