KCCA former Executive Director Dorothy Kisaka, former Deputy Executive Director David Luyimbazi, and former Director of Public Health and Environment, Dr Daniel Okello are to be prosecuted in the courts of law.
This was confirmed by the Police Spokesperson ACP Kituuma Rusoke who says the trio has been detained and will be arraigned before courts of law.
Their detention follows Monday, 14th October Summons to the trio to appear before CID for interrogations and the consequent appearance of the former KCCA directors at CID Headquarters on Wednesday, 16th October.
“Arising from the ongoing prosecution-led investigation, the three former officials of KCCA have been detained and will be arraigned before courts of law,” says Kituuma.
President Yoweri Museveni fired three KCCA top officials following an IGG report on the Kiteezi landfill disaster on 24th September, 2024.
According to a statement released by the Office of the Presidential Press Unit, Museveni was acting on a report released by the Inspector General of Government (IGG). The IGG’s report clearly outlined severe oversight and negligence.
In August, the Kiteezi landfill collapsed, 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.
