Nominations: Kampala wakes up to messy jam on Day One

Nov 02, 2020

Heavy traffic jam is being experienced on the few roads in the city where cars have been diverted to.

Several roads across the Kampala central business district have been blocked to enable the presidential nominations to go on without interruption.
