Ankole roadside markets a ticking time bomb

Many markets in Ankole Sub-region are located in road reserves and even on the roads, which puts the safety of vendors and their customers at risk.

Leaders in the sub-region attribute the issue to poor planning of towns.

The markets include Kagarama in Kagarama Town Council, Ntungamo District; Nyamayenje on Ntungamo-Rukungiri Road in Rukungiri District; Ntungamo on Ntungamo-Kabale Road in Ntungamo Municipality; Kagango on Mbarara-Bushenyi Road in Sheema Municipality; Kyambura Market and Ndekye Weekly Market both in Bunyaruguru County, Rubirizi District.
