<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIn addition to these structures, the new Clock Tower has widened and improved roads totaling 2,920 meters and five signalized junctions at Shoprite, Clock Tower, Nsambya hospital, and new Kibuli Overpass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ministry of Works also\u00a0 provided KCCA with a street sweeper truck, a drain pipe cleaner truck, two high-pressure washers, and two road patrol cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While commisioning the new facilities President Museveni said : \u201cUgandans must observe discipline. Stop littering because it is very bad , it blocks drainage channels and causes flooding. Now that we have cameras, KCCA should work with the police to use these cameras to catch those throwing polythene bags and rubbish on the roadsides.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRepent, because this rubbish has killed people before. Littering starts in homes, you get polythene bags, dump used plastic bottles and all that brings problems. You should separate waste at home and ensure plastics are recycled,\u201d he advised .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Museveni praised the partnership between Uganda and Japan, noting that the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) has funded many projects in Uganda over the years .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He expressed satisfaction with Japan\u2019s continued support through infrastructure projects, citing the construction of the Source of the Nile Bridge and plans to build the Karuma Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am happy to see that the Japanese are reciprocating through infrastructure development. They have built the Nile Bridge and are now planning the Karuma Bridge. I thank them for not being selfish,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The President urged Japan to move beyond aid and invest in Africa\u2019s manufacturing sector, particularly in value addition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI always tell our Japanese friends in addition to aid, come and manufacture in Uganda and Africa. The African market is growing. Our population is now 1.5 billion, surpassing India and China, and in the next 30 years, it will be 2.5 billion. Being in Africa is the way of the future,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
President Museveni also acknowledged Japan\u2019s role in the Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD), describing it as a valuable platform for fostering economic partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Prime Minister, Robinah Nabbanja hailed the completion of the Kampala Flyover, describing it as the beginning of a solution to the persistent traffic congestion in Kampala. She said that the flyover would not only improve road safety but also boost business in the capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis flyover marks a turning point. It will help end the traffic jams that have long been a hindrance to productivity. People will no longer waste valuable time stuck in traffic; they will be able to focus on their businesses and make money. Congratulations to the people of Kampala for this remarkable achievement,\u201dshe added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Musa Ecweru, the State Minister for Works expressed gratitude to President Museveni for his leadership in commissioning the Kampala Flyover Project, describing it as a significant milestone for the city\u2019s infrastructure development. He called upon motorists to adhere to standard operation procedures to ensure safety and smooth traffic flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Ambassador of Japan to Uganda, Takuya Sasayama ,highlighted the long-standing collaboration between Japan and Uganda, emphasizing infrastructure, vocational training, and agricultural projects that have strengthened bilateral ties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have been in collaboration with Uganda for many years, focusing on various sectors such as infrastructure, roads, water, vocational training, agriculture, and many others,\u201d Ambassador Sasayama, stated adding , \u201cKampala will not only see the completion of this flyover, but we will also open the control center in August. Additionally, road construction will be underway in other regions of Uganda.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are organizing a conference on African development in Tokyo, and we expect His Excellency, the President, to join us in leading these discussions,\u201d he said. The President has been deeply involved in urban development and has played a key role as one of the founding fathers of IGAD meetings. We would like him to lead the conversation again in Tokyo this August,\u201dhe added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Ambassador also highlighted the significant impact of the current flyover project, noting its contribution to employment and skills development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis flyover project has created over 700,000 jobs over the past six years. We have also trained nearly 110 engineers, and we aim to help them continue gaining experience, not just on this flyover, but across Africa,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs the road conditions improve, we must be mindful of our speed and safety while using the flyover. Congratulations on the completion of this project, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
