The Kampala City Festival that started seven years ago and on average hosts about 5 million people from within and outside the region has been cancelled.
The event which had become a big opportunity for Kampala Capital City Authority’s partners and public who come and do business on that day and get entertainment will not happen this year after the money has been channeled to something else.
According to the KCCA executive director, Jennifer Musisi, the money will be used in schools and hospitals in Kampala. “The money from the proceeds have been going towards rehabilitation of our city schools. In addition to what the government gives us, our #KampalaCityFestival partners have done a great job in helping us improve our schools,” she said at the KCCA presser this morning.
“This year, we have agreed to focus the contributions of our partners on actually implementing projects to improve our schools and health centers. We shall start with re-roofing Nakibubo blue and Nakivubo settlement primary schools and also, build a maternity ward at Kiswa health center. The purpose of the press conference is to inform you that we shall not have a street party this year but focus all our sponsors’ contributions to the CSR cause. Improving our health centers and removing asbestos from our city schools.” Musisi added.
