Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) has received a substantial boost in its eco-friendly initiatives as prominent entrepreneur Hamis Kiggundu showcased his dedication by contributing an impressive 100,000 royal palm trees to the cause.

The initiative, crafted to amplify the aesthetic allure of the city and foster a more ecologically sound urban landscape, was formally inaugurated with a tree-planting ceremony along Ggaba road in Makindye Division.

Hajat Minsa Kabanda, the Minister of Kampala Capital City and Metropolitan Affairs, lauded Kiggundu’s backing for the greening campaign.
