High Court finds KCCA partly liable for 2017 drowning of street vendor in Nakivubo channel

The Observer reports that Justice Boniface Wamala of the High Court ruled that it was not proved KCCA enforcement officers chased vendor Olive Basemera into the open Nakivubo drainage channel in 2017, but held KCCA 70 per cent liable for failing to protect the public from the open drain. The court awarded damages to her dependants, reduced by 30 per cent for her own contributory negligence.
