Editor—It is a citizen’s social responsibility to alert the authorities about anything going wrong in the country. I would like to alert the Ministry of Works about a developer who is putting small culverts in an existing rain water drainage system on Jinja Road, next to Banda market opposite the petrol station.
The small culverts will not take the massive volume of the storm water and the highway will be flooded as is always the case at the Kyambogo junction whenever there is heavy rain. Besides, these culverts will get filled with soil and other debris and block the water flow since there is no one to unblock them regularly.
Instead of widening the drainage downstream, the developer is making it worse for the road users! I request the authorities concerned to visit this place before it is too late.
