Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja has announced that Uganda will hold its fourth National Cleaning Day on Saturday, October 31, 2026, from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., with residents across the country expected to take part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The nationwide exercise will be conducted simultaneously in districts, cities, municipalities, town councils, parishes and villages as the government steps up efforts to improve sanitation, protect the environment and promote public health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoima City has been selected as the main national cleaning site in recognition of its role as one of the host cities for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations. However, Nabbanja emphasised that the initiative would extend to communities throughout the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Prime Minister praised local governments, security agencies, businesses and other stakeholders for supporting the programme. She urged leaders at all levels to mobilise residents and ensure the availability of cleaning equipment, waste collection services and appropriate disposal facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The exercise will focus on public spaces, including roadsides, markets, drainage channels, schools, health facilities, workplaces and other shared areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nabbanja also encouraged households, institutions and businesses to embrace responsible waste management by disposing of rubbish properly and avoiding littering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the designated three-hour period, movement restrictions will apply to motor vehicles, motorcycles and pedestrians, subject to exemptions for essential services and other authorised categories. Members of the public have been advised to follow official instructions and plan their movements accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Prime Minister stressed that the initiative should not be limited to the scheduled cleaning exercise, urging Ugandans to make environmental responsibility and cleanliness part of their everyday lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She called on citizens across the country to participate on October 31 and sustain the effort to keep their surroundings clean beyond the designated hours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
