The Independent Uganda: You get the Truth we Pay the Price
Luwero, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) has destroyed 180 tons of smuggled goods
The items that were destroyed at Luwero Industries include cosmetics, used underwear garments, beer, wines, and spirits, computers, and drugs, among others.
“These items were confiscated and collected over some time, more than just one year of enforcement operations. If we were to value them, they are worth over a billion shillings in taxes,” says Milton Rahuka, the manager for warehousing in the customs department at URA.
According to Rahuka, the items were mostly impounded from along the border of the Democratic Republic of Congo and South Sudan.
Ian Mukisa, the supervisor for waste management at Luwero Industries, says that the consignment will be crushed and directly landfilled. He adds that the use of this method was determined by the sensitivity and bulkiness of the consignment.
Jane Okello, the general manager of Rugarwana Industries, a company that was contracted to transport the contraband to Nakasongola said that more contraband still awaits transportation, including cigarettes, electronics, and soap.
Several boxes containing copies of the Holy Quran were also discovered among the contraband items, but they were not destroyed.

Thank you for doaring the Religious material
But dies Uganda have guidelines for managing E- waste
( If what is being done why do some countries dump it unless exposed countries?)
Correction:
Thank you for not destroying religious material
With Regard to management of E- waste, does Uganda have guide lines?
Looking at what is being done ( do simple ?!), why do other countries dump into the un exposed countries
In one new institution the items in a computer laboratory were labelled “for discard”
There are 5 Rs
Refuse
Recycle, repurpose etc
I do not think these are being used in this particular case
“The black of the eye”. Has said please let us be cautious
We use the opportunity to ask local governments to review the system if waste management starting with the house hold;
Segregation of waste should be at the site of generation
If we go to Kiteezi site
Can one identify a pile of recovered batteries, CDs, other electronics
Another of glass
It is not only plastic that poses a danger in this country
Diapers contain human waste whst is the appropriate destination for this type of waste
