The recent collapse of the Kiteezi landfill has sparked widespread concern and outrage, highlighting significant loopholes and policy gaps in waste management.
The landfill, which has been the primary dumping site for Kampala's waste for over two decades, has long been under scrutiny for its environmental and health risks.
This leads to the first unanswered question: Why was the landfill allowed to continue operating despite clear evidence of its unsustainability? What plans are in place to address the growing waste management crisis in Kampala? This question remains unanswered as authorities scramble to find alternative sites and methods for waste disposal in the wake of the landfill's collapse.
Residents living near the Kiteezi landfill have reported health problems linked to the toxic fumes and contaminated water from the site. Yet, there has been little to no response from the government to address these concerns.
