Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) has received expressions of interest from more than four foreign firms bidding to carry out solid waste management recycling in the city.
According to Kampala Central Division Mayor Salim Uhuru, the undisclosed firms have their money to start off operations.
“We have got 4 to 5 investors who have expressed interest in the garbage collection and my appeal is that if we cannot handle the garbage collection let the Investors come,” he said during the Waste Management Stakeholders Dialogue in Kampala.
He added: “One of the investors doesn’t want the garbage to be sorted. He says he can make pavers, blocks, fertilizers and energy.”
On Monday, Uhuru called upon President Museveni to involve himself in vetting the eventual company for solid waste management.
