Work in the areas around Uganda Broadcasting Corporation (UBC) has almost come to a grinding halt, because of President Yoweri Museveni’s impending visit to the Subway Restaurant.
Traffic at the two roundabouts, the one near Oasis Nakumatt Mall and the one at the UBC junction is immobile, as police and members of the presidential guard are diverting cars mainly for people working around those areas. The other roads closed include the one from Grand Imperial Hotel roundabout going down towards the Serena Conference Centre, and the road coming in from around the MTN headquarters.
Because of the diversion, even the roads in the surrounding areas are congested, with very slow traffic movement since 7.00pm.
“If this is what it means, let the President work from Entebbe; a whole workforce in the capital city cannot waste all this time because the President is going to visit just one place,” one of the motorists was overheard shouting at a policeman, at the top of his voice.
Linda Nabusayi Wamboka, the Presidential Press Secretary posted that Mr. Museveni was due at Crested Towers to visit projects under the Presidential Initiative to Skill the girl child.
