Vendors in both Old and the New Taxi Parks are in shock wondering their next step after the police and Kampala capital City Authority (KCCA) evicts them. The police and KCCA had planned to evict these vendors today.
However, fortunately on traders’ side, the inspector General of Police Kale Kayihura halted the eviction. Kayihura just directed his officers to give the vendors chance to leave the taxi parks in peace.

The director of KCCA had earlier issued a directive last week that the vendors get stalls in city markets and leave Old and New Taxi Parks today.

Kayihura halted the eviction after receiving reports that the vendors were planning to burn taxis during the eviction. A source in police says that the traders will still be evicted soon.
