The High Court in Kampala has issued a ruling regarding the 2014 death of Olive Basemera, a street vendor who drowned in the Nakivubo drainage channel while escaping a Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) enforcement operation. The court determined that KCCA officers did not directly chase Basemera into the channel, addressing a key point of contention in the case. However, the ruling also encompasses a separate claim concerning Shs 11.3bn related to the Northern Bypass. Justice Boniface oversaw the proceedings, navigating the complexities of assigning responsibility for Basemera's death nearly ten years after the incident. The decision sheds light on the legal implications of enforcement operations and their potential consequences for vulnerable populations in Kampala. Further details of the ruling regarding the Northern Bypass claim were not immediately available. This case raises questions about the duty of care owed by city authorities during enforcement activities.
