Lukwago dares IGG to release full Kiteezi report

Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago has asked the Inspector General of Government (IGG) to make public the findings of the Kiteezi garbage heap disaster, which led to the sacking of top executives of Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA).

President Museveni on September 24 fired KCCA Executive Director Dorothy Kisaka, her deputy David Luyimbazi, and Public Health Director Daniel Okello, following the collapse of the Kiteezi landfill.

“This is not a report for Mr Museveni, but for the public. If he is the first consumer of the findings, now that he has acted on it, why doesn’t the IGG publish it so that we can dissect it, and understand what constitutes negligence, how it was assessed, and gain clarity,” he added.

The huge garbage dump in Kasangati Town Council, Wakiso District, which absorbs wastes from Kampala City, Mukono and Wakiso municipal and town councils, collapsed on August 10.
