Who Won the U.S. Presidential Debate?

Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago has has issued a directive halting the acquisition of alternative land for waste management.

“I hereby invoke the powers of the Office of the Lord Mayor to direct that the processes for the acquisition of an alternative land for the establishment of waste management facility be forthwith halted until the CEC is furnished with a comprehensive progressive report for further management and Council consideration,” he said.

Mr Lukwago urged a team from the Inspectorate of Government (IG) to also expedite the process of releasing the long-awaited report on the Kiteezi calamity. This was after the Inspectorate swang into action to investigate the cause of the tragedy and bring to book responsible individuals within and outside KCCA.

His directive is in response to the September 17 chaos that erupted at Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) City Hall following a botched council meeting to address Kampala’s waste management crisis.

KCCA’s City Executive Committee (CEC) team, which Mr Lukwago is part of, was accused by a section of councillors of failing to table a report on waste management, something he vehemently denied before journalists during a press briefing on September 18.
