Jinja Joins Nationwide Crackdown on Street Vendors as Ugandan Cities Enforce Trade Order
Jinja, Uganda: Jinja City has become the latest urban center in Uganda to issue a stern ultimatum to street vendors, illegal kiosk operators, and builders of unauthorized structures, joining a growing wave of enforcement actions across the country aimed at restoring order, decongesting public spaces, and promoting formal trade. In a public notice dated March 2, 2026, and signed by City Town Clerk Godfrey B. Kisekka, Jinja City Council directed all affected parties to voluntarily remove illegal kiosks, cease street vending, and relocate to gazetted markets or shops. Illegal buildings and structures must also be dismantled by their owners no

Street Vendor Rights: Clash Intensifies as Uganda's Cities Clear Streets Without Clear Legal Protections for Informal Traders
Kampala/Jinja, Uganda: As a nationwide crackdown on street vending sweeps through Ugandas urban centers, a sharp divide has emerged between government authorities insisting on strict enforcement of existing laws and vendors demanding recognition of their right to earn a living in the absence of supportive regulations. The Ministry of Trade, Industries and Cooperatives has firmly defended the evictions, arguing that street vending lacks any legal foundation under current statutes. Commissioner for Internal Trade Zackey Kalega stated that the Trade Licensing Act has not provided for street vendors, describing them as operating illegally outside designated shops or limited hawking provisions. Operating

Evictions Deepen Poverty as Uganda Clears Streets Without Alternatives for Informal Traders
Kampala/Mbale/Jinja, Uganda: The wave of street vendor evictions sweeping Ugandas cities is not just about reclaiming public spaces; its stripping away livelihoods for thousands in the informal economy, pushing families deeper into poverty amid a glaring lack of supportive laws or viable relocation options. In Kampala, where the crackdown began in mid-February, vendors who once sold fruits, clothes, and snacks along busy walkways now face daily uncertainty. Many return despite risks, as designated markets like Usafi remain overcrowded or inaccessible. One vendor near the Old Taxi Park told reporters: We have nowhere else to go. The markets are full, and

The Great Nationwide Street Vendor Exodus: A Masterclass in Urban Sanity
In a dazzling display of coordinated brilliance that would make even the most efficient dictatorship blush, Ugandas cities have launched what can only be described as the Great Vendor Relocation Miracle of 2026. Kampala started the party in February with KCCAs heroic sweep, and now the rest of the country is eagerly joining in like its the hottest new TikTok challenge: #EvictAndDecongest. Picture this: Kampalas streets, once a chaotic symphony of roasted maize, second-hand shoes, and entrepreneurial spirit, now gleam with the rare luxury of empty pavement.

Could Uganda Learn from Kenya and India's Street Vending Laws to End the Cycle of Evictions?
As Ugandan cities enforce strict crackdowns on street vendors evicting them from public spaces under laws that offer no formal recognition for stationary trading, questions are mounting about whether a more inclusive regulatory model could break the pattern of repeated displacements, resistance, and economic hardship. In Uganda, the Trade (Licensing) Act and local ordinances treat unauthorized street vending as illegal encroachments, with no dedicated provisions for licensing, zoning, or protecting vendors livelihoods. This legal vacuum has fueled the current nationwide operations: KCCAs February 19 removals in Kampala, Mbales March 2 demolitions, Jinjas March 15 voluntary deadline (with forceful action from
