Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | KCCA has asked anyone who has returned to inhabit the demarcated 200 meter buffer zone around the Kiteezi landfill in the villages of Lusanjje, Kitetika and Kiteezi to vacate. This call is after this morning fire outbreak in the garbage.
“Anyone who has returned to inhabit the demarcated 200 meter buffer zone around the Kiteezi landfill in the villages of Lusanjje, Kitetika and Kiteezi must vacate immediately. We call upon the area leadership, security agencies and the public to ensure that this area is vacated to warrant the safety of all persons and property,” KCCA posted in a statement on X.
