President Fires KCCA’s Dorothy Kisaksa Over Kiteezi Landfill Disaster

Dorothy Kisaka

President Museveni has fired Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) executive director, Dorothy Kisaka,  her deputy Eng David Luyimbazi and the director of Public Health Dr Daniel Okello over Kiteezi landfill collapse that left 35 people dead and several others missing.

“In a decisive response to the findings of the Inspector General of Government (IGG) report concerning the Kiteezi Landfill disaster, H.E the President of the Republic of Uganda has exercised his constitutional authority under Article 172 (1) (a) of the 1995 Constitution to dismiss several key officials of the Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) in the public interest due to significant evidence of criminal negligence,” a Tuesday afternoon statement from the government media centre reads in part.

According to Mr Museveni, the IGG’s report clearly outlined the severe oversight and negligence exhibited by Ms Kisaka and her team.
In light of these findings, Mr Museveni has directed the Criminal investigations Department (CID) and other crime management agencies to thoroughly investigate the matter further, focusing on the angle of criminal negligence associated with the August 9 incident that left several other people hospitalized.
