Buzaki told our media team that “It is not just about fun. It’s about coming together as a city, recognizing how far we’ve come, and renewing our collective commitment to building a cleaner and more liveable Kampala.”
Furthermore, it’s remembered that the Kampala City Festival was introduced by ex-ED Jenifer Musisi; the festival was deemed to be one of the biggest street festivals in East Africa but was later cancelled in 2018.
The festival will not only be an event but also a platform used to honor the innovation, culture, creativity, and community spirit that defines Kampala City.
In conclusion, this event unites a large number of people across the city to come to network and celebrate the goodness of their city.
