KAMPALA CENTRAL KICKSTART: A NEW ENERGY, A NEW STANDARD, A NEW KIND OF LEADERSHIP

Kampala Central has spoken — loudly, clearly, and without hesitation. The first day of the division-wide mobilization showed one thing beyond doubt: Kampala is hungry for leadership that works, listens, and delivers. And today, as Beatrice Mao stepped onto the ground, the contrast with the incumbent couldn’t have been clearer.

For years, Kampala Central has been told to wait, to be patient, to accept excuses instead of solutions. Flooded roads, collapsing drainage, filthy markets, broken infrastructure, and zero accountability — this has become the trademark of an office that has forgotten its purpose.

But today’s kickoff proved that Kampala Central is done with politics of survival. The people want politics of service.

From Market Street to Nakasero, from Old Kampala to Kamwokya, the crowds didn’t just gather — they surged. Traders left their shops. Boda riders parked their motorcycles. Youth groups walked with her. Mothers and elders blessed her. It wasn’t just excitement; it was relief — the feeling that finally, someone has come to clean up the mess and restore dignity in a city left on autopilot.

Where the incumbent has normalised excuses, Beatrice came with direction.

Where others talk, she listens.

Where others promise, she plans.

Where others campaign, she works.

Her message was simple but powerful:

“Kampala deserves better — and better starts now.”

The reception was overwhelming, not because of slogans, but because people can clearly see the difference between leadership that has grown comfortable and leadership ready to get to work.

This is not a campaign of drama or noise. This is a campaign of order, systems, and results. Kampala Central wants a leader who understands what a functioning city should look like — not one who explains away the failures every year.

Today’s kickoff was not just the launch of Kampala Central’s campaign.

It was the beginning of an accountability era.

A statement to the incumbent: your comfort zone has expired.

A message to Kampala: your city, your say — and your future starts now.

This is only the beginning. Kampala Central is on fire.

And the city is ready to move forward — with Beatrice Mao leading the way.
