President Museveni has fired Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) Dorothy Kisaka and three top officials due to criminal negligence in the Kitezi landfill disaster. The decision follows significant evidence of their failure to manage the landfill properly.
The other KCCA officials dismissed include Engineer David Luyimbazi, Deputy Executive Director and Dr. Daniel Okello, Director of Public Health.
The dismissal follows findings of the Inspector General of Government (IGG) report concerning the Kiteezi Landfill disaster which claimed over 34 people with several others said to be missing until to date.
The IGG’s report clearly outlined the severe oversight and negligence exhibited by these officials.
“In light of these findings, the President has called upon the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) and other crime management agencies to thoroughly investigate the matter further, focusing on the angle of criminal negligence associated with this distressing event,” a State House statement reads in part.
