Kayanja added that when this fence wall is complete, it will help to keep out thieves, who have been breaking into municipal offices and making away with vital documents and office equipment. He said the fence would make the municipal compound out of bounds for idlers who try to catch President Yoweri Museveni's attention as he enters Entebbe State House.

Mayor Kayanja also noted that Shs 654m would be spent on construction of a two storied building with the ground floor to house Entebbe Division A offices, and the upper floor to house a mega public library and Tourism Information centre.
