Suits and Streets
Kampala City authority (KCCA) and street vendors have always been at loggerheads resulting from the regulatory framework and running battles over illegal operations.
In 2019, KCCA introduced a draft ordinance to have all vendors and hawkers registered with identification numbers, specific uniform colors according to place of operation categorised into Grade A and Grade B and proposed an annual license fee that the vendors and hawkers found high.
The ordinance proposed to have Grade A hawkers be required to pay annual license fees 112,500/- ($32) and Grade B hawkers be required to pay 60,000/- ($16) annually.
