@kyofakabuye2 Hon. I developed & submitted the planning proposals for Nakaseke-Kiwoko Townships to milano politecnico university. May u kindly follow up on the submissions.
It's an opportunity to engage with their Architecture-Engineering Departments
@KCCASpox @KCCAED @HajjatMinsa @kyofakabuye2 @RonaldBalimwezo @imutenyo @UEDCLTD @JRRwabwogo @mandyug @UIPE_Uganda Lack of physical planning, land use zoning are major challenges to stable power.
Suggestion to KCCA and UEDCL: to address voltage instability, @ubctvuganda
facilities are located in close proximity. In parallel, a clearly defined, hierarchical distribution transformer architecture should be established to improve load segregation, voltage regulation, fault isolation, and overall network reliability.
Captioned: Umeme CBD & Ndeeba
Mwami Nyombi Tembo @UCC_ED should lead this effort @UCC_Official as the internet networking is creating one of the worst infrastructure this country has ever seen.
Poorly planned urban and industrial environments, electrical infrastructure should be organized according to load characteristics, power demand, and disturbance sensitivity, rather than simply following geographical proximity.
This creates a more resilient distribution network even when physical urban zoning is impractical. UECDL, KCCA and other cities, Utilities and @NWSCMD @nwscug @MoWT_Uganda @HonByamukama @DrMusenero @SanjayTanna444 should generate a debate about this issue.@ntvuganda @bbstvug

Nigerian-born Seun Rasheed was working for oil giant Shell in Qatar when a holiday to Rwanda set him on a different path. During the trip, the wide gap between the local price of passion fruit and what it sold for in Europe caught his attention. He realised there was an opportunity to build an export business around that price gap.
Seven years later, @SoukFarms supplies Rwandan-grown produce – including avocados, chillies and beans – to supermarkets in Europe and the Middle East.

@KCCAUG @KCCASpox @KCCAED @BenonKigenyi @imutenyo @UIPE_Uganda @RonaldBalimwezo Kampala Subject: Urgent Road Maintenance, Drainage and Construction Quality Concerns – Kampala
Hello KCCA,
I wish to draw your attention to several road maintenance and construction defects across
durable, all-weather road surface.
KCCA should prioritise preventive maintenance, enforce construction standards and address the underlying engineering causes of road failure rather than repeatedly undertaking temporary repairs. @ntvuganda @bbstvug @bukeddeonline @HonByamukama
