President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has dismissed top KCCA official following the findings of the Inspector General of Government (IGG) report concerning the Kiteezi Landfill disaster.
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.
Museveni dismissed Mrs. Dorothy Kisaka the KCCA Executive Director, her deputy Engineer David Luyimbazi, and Dr. Daniel Okello, the Director of Public Health.
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 three positions with a goal of appointing new officials within three months.
The President remains committed to upholding accountability and maintaining the highest standards of governance for the benefit of all citizens.
