flag Uganda cracks down on unlicensed vendors Feb. 23, urging relocation to designated markets.

flag On February 5, 2026, Kampala’s Minister for Kampala, Minsa Kabanda, announced a crackdown on unlicensed street vendors and unauthorized transport operators, enforcing Uganda’s 1969 Trade (Licensing) Act. flag A two-week grace period ended February 23, after which illegal vendors face arrest, confiscation of goods, and prosecution. flag The government urges relocation to 2,520 designated spaces across nine KCCA markets and the revived Sunday Market. flag The move aims to improve safety, reduce congestion, and support urban development, though the Lord Mayor-Elect criticized it as unauthorized and poorly coordinated. flag Officials stress the need for unity to advance long-delayed projects like the Bus Rapid Transit system.
