Ntungamo: Residents and business operators in Rubaare Town Council, Ntungamo District, have been urged to comply with new trade regulations set to take effect on April 15, 2026.
According to a public notice issued by the Town Clerk, Emmanuel Byamukama, the enforcement exercise will be carried out without compromise as authorities move to restore order within the town.
The operation will focus on the removal of all temporary structures, including kiosks and containers, especially those located within the central business area and along major roads. Street vendors operating both during the day and at night will also be removed as part of the exercise.
Additionally, traders have been directed to stop displaying merchandise outside their shops, particularly on walkways, road reserves, and shop verandas. Authorities say this practice contributes to congestion and disrupts the smooth movement of pedestrians and vehicles.
The notice also highlights the planned removal of illegal developments and unauthorized annexes constructed within the town council. Public transport operators will also be affected, with the council set to streamline their operations to improve order and efficiency.
Town Clerk Byamukama emphasized that all residents and business operators must comply with the relevant laws, including the Local Government Act, Physical Planning Act, Trade and Licensing Act, as well as the Public Health and Market Act.
The town council has called on the public to cooperate with enforcement teams to ensure a smooth implementation of the new measures aimed at improving order, sanitation, and urban planning in Rubaare.
