While presenting a ministerial statement to parliament yesterday, Hon. Betty Olive Kamya expressed satisfaction with the eviction of traders at Park Yard market. Despite the harsh criticism she has since faced from fellow politicians, the minster of Kampala was all basking in glory.
 

 

“I am proud that we have successfully brought to end a twenty year old dispute and we relocated over 5000 people without teargas, without a gun shot”, she stated.

She says the eviction paves way for development of an ultra-modern facility befitting of the city and those frustrated by the eviction are “people against change and development”.

“I am very glad that the park yard market that I saw in the middle of a city has now been brought down and that Nakivubo can now be development in an ultra-modern facility we all deserve. All is calm in Park Yard market except for the media who need news and for the politicians who need attention. There are a few skirmishes but in all societies and countries from time immemorial. History is littered with examples of people who will always resist change.”

The eviction left was hastily done in the wee hours of the night as several traders woke up to a rude awakening that the source of their livelihood was being razed down by security operatives. The eviction was done before the 30 day ultimatum elapsed.
