Residents of Kidodo cell, central division in Kasese Municipality yesterday blocked the road heading to the garbage collection site, over allegations of poor garbage disposal.
According to them, the Municipal Authority seems not to be interested to do their oversight role of monitoring and supervising sub-contractors transporting Garbage to the collection center who reportedly heap garbage anywhere they find.
Mr. Bahati Sumete, a resident in the same area told Kasese Guide Radio that last week they notified the Municipal Health inspector about the problem, where he promised to come and assess the situation but in vain.
It’s against this background that residents blocked the road to stop tri-cycles transporting garbage to the area to attract the attention of political and technical leaders. Mr. Bahati speaking….
To Ms. Janet Biira, another resident has abandoned business to take care of her children after reasoning that children may take advantage to play at the Garbage collection site which is unhygienic in her absence.
Ms. Janet speaking….
Mr.Yosufu Mukanirwa, has threatened to stop tri-cycles transporting Garbage to site should they continue trespassing in their land.
Mr. Mukanirwa speaking….
The Kasese Municipal Health Inspector was not readily available for a comment by press time. END.
