“The President has exercised his constitutional authority under Article 172 (1) (a) of the 1995 Constitution to dismiss several key officials of the Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) in the public interest due to significant evidence of criminal negligence,” reads a statement released by State House.

This follows a decisive response to the findings of the Inspector General of Government (IGG) report concerning the Kiteezi Landfill disaster. On August 10, 2024, the Kiteezi landfill in Kasangati Town Council, Wakiso District collapse leading to 36 people dead, over 30 missing and 65 families displaced.

By the time of it’s collapse, the landfill was the primary waste disposal site for Kampala since 1997 receiving 2,500 tonnes of waste daily.

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.”

To ensure a swift transition in leadership, the President has directed the Public Service Commission to advertise the positions of Executive Director, Deputy Executive Director, and Director of Public Health, with a goal of appointing new officials within three months.

Additionally, the Minister for Kampala has been tasked with advising the President on interim appointments for these crucial positions to ensure that operations within KCCA continue without disruption until permanent replacements are in place.

“The President remains committed to upholding accountability and maintaining the highest standards of governance for the benefit of all citizens,” further reads the statement.
