President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has officially removed three senior officials from the Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) following the catastrophic collapse of the Kiteezi landfill, which led to the deaths of over 38 people.<\/p>\n

Executive Director Dorothy Kisaka, Deputy Executive Director Engineer David Luyimbazi, and Director of Public Health Dr. Daniel Okello were dismissed after an investigation by the Inspectorate of Government (IGG) found severe oversight and negligence within the KCCA leadership.<\/p>\n

The landfill, located in the suburbs of Kampala, collapsed after heavy rainfall, burying nearby homes and workers at the site. The tragic incident has raised alarms over the city\u2019s management of waste facilities and safety measures in high-risk areas.<\/p>\n

A statement from the State House Press and Public Relations Directorate confirmed that the President\u2019s decision was based on the findings of the IGG report, which revealed significant negligence by the KCCA leaders. \u201cThe report clearly outlined the severe oversight and negligence exhibited by these officials,\u201d read the statement.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In response, President Museveni has ordered the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) and other agencies to conduct further investigations into potential criminal negligence. The aim is to hold accountable those responsible for the mismanagement that led to the preventable disaster.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Additionally, Museveni directed the Public Service Commission to advertise the positions of Executive Director, Deputy Executive Director, and Director of Public Health, calling for fresh appointments within three months.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, the Minister for Kampala has been tasked with advising the President on interim appointments to ensure the continuity of KCCA\u2019s operations.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Kiteezi landfill disaster has shocked the nation and prompted widespread concern about the management of critical infrastructure in Kampala. While the President\u2019s decisive action is seen as a step toward accountability, it also raises larger questions about the safety and planning standards applied in key urban areas.<\/p>\n

As investigations continue, the public awaits further developments on how the government will ensure such tragedies do not occur again.<\/p>\n
