Flooding in Kampala will not end simply by opening more drainage channels, widening existing drains, or even demolishing buildings in wetlands. Those measures may reduce pressure in some areas, but every rainy season the same problem returns. The reality is that surface drainage alone cannot carry the volume of stormwater produced by a rapidly growing city.

Kampala’s flooding problem is structural.

As urbanization increases, more land is covered by concrete, asphalt, and rooftops. Rainwater no longer soaks into the ground. It rushes quickly into drains, overwhelming them and pushing water back into streets, homes, and businesses, particularly in low-lying areas that naturally drain toward Lake Victoria.

The permanent solution is a deep underground stormwater tunnel system built using Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs).

With a total investment of about UGX 9 trillion to UGX 15 trillion, Kampala can construct large underground drainage tunnels 15 to 30 meters below the surface. These tunnels would collect stormwater from across the city and safely channel it to controlled discharge points into Lake Victoria.

This engineering solution offers major advantages:

• No land compensation required
• No demolition of homes or businesses
• Minimal disruption on the surface
• A lifespan of 80 to 100 years

With only eight TBMs working simultaneously, the main underground network could be completed in about three years.

Instead of endlessly widening drains and repairing roads after floods, Kampala can build a permanent system that removes stormwater efficiently and protects the city for generations.

For this reason, Kampala Capital City Authority should urgently begin engaging development partners and financial institutions to secure financing for this project as soon as possible. The longer the city delays, the more it continues to spend on temporary fixes that do not solve the problem.

In simple terms: Surface fixes manage the symptoms. Deep stormwater tunnels solve the problem once and for all.

In the 1930s, Arsenal ruled English football.

Between 1932 and 1935, they delivered a historic three-in-a-row league titles, becoming just the second club ever to achieve a top-flight three-peat after Huddersfield Town in the 1920s.

Absolute dominance.🔴⚪️

Gabriel Jesus £18M
Gabriel Martinelli £48M
Leandro Trossard £18M
Christian Norgaard £8M
Reiss Nelson £5M

Daily Monitor, this headline is unnecessarily disrespectful. Mama @JanetMuseveni is not a missing person. She is someone’s wife, someone’s mother, and a senior public servant. If there are questions about her official duties, ask them directly and professionally. ‘Where is Janet?’ sounds more like gossip than journalism. The public’s concern should be whether official duties are being fulfilled, not turning a senior government official into the subject of a tabloid-style headline. Uganda deserves serious journalism, not attention-seeking captions.

This morning, we have joined residents of Bukasa Parish, Kasanvu Zone, in Makindye Division for a Weyonje community clean-up.

Together, we can shape Kampala into the city we all desire to have.

The 2026/27 Premier League fixtures drop on June 19.

My Arsenal wishlist for the first 7 games? Give us the teams that took points off us last season.

No easy starts. No excuses. Just a chance to settle old scores early and make a statement from Matchday 1.

Bring them on. 🔴⚪️

@ultimate_kombo Messi really lacks true followers, now that someone (Ronaldo) bigger and better has already stolen the headlines.
