Miss Uganda 2015 Zaharah Nakiyaga has partnered with Kampala Capital City Authority to plant trees in the city in an effort for the Authority to plant about 500,000 trees in the city in a period of five years from now. Miss Uganda Zaharah Nakiyaga while participating in planting trees along northern bypass in Kisasi and Nalya says that these trees will beautify the city .
She says that it will help in controlling floods which destroy people’s properties and damage roads in the city hence causing cost implication in repairing roads. Nakiyaga asked the youth to participate in planting trees which they can also use in future because its not good to leave this exercise to the older people yet they will go and it is the youth who will use the trees.
The Director physical planning Kampala Capital City Authority Moses Atwine says that KCCA is devising strategies of encouraging kampala residents to protect the trees the authority together with other partners are planting.
