On Tuesday, President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni sacked Kisaka, Luyimbaazi and Okello, over the Kiteezi landfill disaster that led to the death of over 30 people. In a statement released by the Office of the President Press Unit, Museveni was acting on the report released by the Inspector General of Government.
In August, the Kiteezi landfill slid burying more than 30 people and displacing many others. Since then, Kampala and its environs are still looking for alternative dumpsites. This has led to garbage piling up in many parts of Kampala and its surroundings.
