In a decisive response to the findings of the Inspector General of Government (IGG) report concerning the Kiteezi Landfill disaster, H.E the President of the Republic of Uganda 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.
The President has dismissed the following KCCA officials;
Mrs. Dorothy Kisaka who has been the Executive Director, Engineer David Luyimbazi , the Deputy Executive Director, Dr. Daniel Okello the director of Public Health.
