National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) has demolished multi-billion buildings constructed on a degraded section of Lumpewo Wetland in Kitiko Birongo Cell, Makindye-Ssabagabo, Wakiso District.
The restoration operation follows an inspection carried out by the Authority’s MD on 1st June, 2026 during which he issued restoration orders to individuals who had built apartments in the wetland.
However, according to NEMA, the restoration orders were not complied to prompting the Friday’s operation.
NEMA urges developers, landowners and members of the public to respect boundaries and ecological functions of wetlands and to refrain from undertaking activities that degrade wetlands.
