In an address to the community, Kaunda said that the report back meeting was in line with the municipality’s commitment of eradicating informal settlements and improving the living conditions of its residents.

“As a caring municipality, we are committed to providing service delivery through the provision of housing opportunity to some of our most vulnerable people. I am happy to report that development in all the three identified sites is on track and we should be in a position to commence with the Kanku Road Housing project in February 2020, the Pilgrim X Housing Project in February 2021 and the Uganda Informal Settlement upgrade phase 1 in April 2021,” said Kaunda.

He also added that the feasibility studies for these projects have been completed and the Provincial Department of Human Settlement has approved Tranche 1 application.
