President Museveni has fired Kampala Capital City Authority Executive Director Dorothy Kisaka, Deputy Luyimb and Dr Daniel Okello over Kiteezi landfill saga where over 30 people died.
In a statement from State House, Museveni said he was acting on the findings of the Inspector General of
Government (IGG) report concerning the Kiteezi Landfill disaster,
“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,” he wrote.
The president 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 is 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,” he wrote.
