The upgrade of the Old Taxi Park has been delayed by the installation of an automated system, which is aimed at creating orderliness in the facility, the deputy executive director of Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA), Mr David Luyimbazi, has said.
His revelation follows complaints from taxi operators who are attributing the traffic mess in the city centre to inadequate parking spaces occasioned by the closure of the park.
In a telephone interview with this newspaper at the weekend, Mr Luyimbazi acknowledged that the project has stalled but said technocrats are currently installing an automation system to ensure access, control and security.
