{UAH} The Baganda Destroys Kabaka’s Lake in Ndeeba!

 

The Baganda Destroys Kabaka's Lake in Ndeeba!

 

Once, the wetland filtering storm water from Mengo, Rubaga and the surrounding areas to Kabaka's lake in Ndeeba is gone- then the lake itself will be no more. It is already heavily sedimented with silt and urban waste and polluted with all types of affluent including faecal matter. Writing about what is happening at this treasure has not clicked to make Mengo think or Buganda Land Board to act despite singing about Buganda monumental treasures!

 

The wetland is now reduced almost to a mere 1/6 of its original size, after being fenced off by Kayanja's  Miracle centre church last November 2013. This come on the heels of similar huge chunk being fenced, in front of the church itself which floods whenever it rains.

 

Streams feed the Kabaka's lake under Kayanja's Church, the subterranean river systems have also been covered with soil.

 

The rest of the wetland was recently fenced off and Kayanjas' Miracle Church poured murmur into it. This soil is ending up into the lake through the water drainage channels that had been ignorantly dug into the wetland to drain it. This a futile attempt since the wetland has subterranean river systems.  St. Lawrence University too has fenced of a huge chuck that has springs under it.

 

Just yesterday men were busy fencing off the land adjacent to the police station – and it is this piece of land that will finally spell doom to the lake. The only solution to rescue the lake is to reclaim the entire wetland right from Rubaga Road to Rubaga church and close off the road along the lake from the palace.
