The Luweero District Local Council Five Chairperson, Erasto Kibirango, has officially voiced his strong and unequivocal opposition to the recent government directive aimed at the immediate eviction of roadside traders across the region. Mr. Kibirango has expressed deep concern regarding the potential socio-economic consequences of this policy, emphasizing that such a move will inevitably deepen the cycle of poverty currently affecting many vulnerable residents within the district. By challenging this administrative mandate, the district leader is highlighting the urgent need for a more balanced approach that considers the welfare of the local population before implementing such sweeping regulatory changes. Furthermore, the Chairperson has argued that the forced removal of these small-scale entrepreneurs will directly deprive countless families of their only reliable source of daily livelihood and financial stability. He maintains that these roadside businesses serve as a critical economic lifeline for many households, and their sudden displacement would lead to severe hardship for those who have no other means of generating income. Consequently, Mr. Kibirango is calling for a reconsideration of the government’s stance to ensure that the livelihoods of these citizens are adequately protected during any future development or safety initiatives.
