Every Road In Kampala Will Be Repaired, That Is Priority Number 1, No More Potholes – Gen Muhoozi Tables His Plans After Be Becomes President

Chief of Defence Forces Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba has declared that repairing roads across Kampala will be a top priority, promising an end to the potholes that have continued to frustrate motorists, pedestrians and other road users.

In a public statement, Muhoozi said every road in the capital would be repaired, presenting the improvement of Kampala’s road network as one of the priorities he wants addressed.

“Every road in Kampala will be repaired. That is priority number 1. NO MORE potholes,” Muhoozi stated.

His remarks come at a time when road conditions remain a major concern for residents and motorists in several parts of Kampala. Potholes, damaged road surfaces and poor drainage have frequently affected transport, increased vehicle maintenance costs and contributed to traffic difficulties.

For many road users, the condition of some roads becomes particularly challenging during rainy periods, when water collects in damaged sections and makes it difficult for motorists to identify potholes. This has also raised concerns about vehicle damage and road safety.

Muhoozi’s statement is likely to attract attention from Kampala residents who have repeatedly called for lasting solutions to the city’s road maintenance challenges. Many will be interested in seeing how the proposed priority translates into actual repairs across different neighbourhoods.

However, the statement did not provide a detailed implementation schedule, identify the roads that would be handled first or explain which government agencies would oversee the work.

The announcement also comes amid wider public discussion about infrastructure development, accountability and the delivery of essential services in Uganda. Residents will be looking for clear plans, funding commitments and measurable progress rather than promises alone.

If implemented across the capital, the proposed repairs could improve mobility, reduce vehicle damage and make daily travel easier for thousands of Kampala residents. For now, Muhoozi’s declaration has put the spotlight on the urgent demand for pothole-free roads.
