The Kyadondo East Member of Parliament, Nkunyingi Muwada broke into tears during the debate over the Kitezi landfill disasters.
Muwada, whose constituency covers areas of Lusanja and Kitezi could not hold back tears as the matter was being debated on the floor of Parliament.
The lawmaker said had repeatedly warned of the impending disaster but the government did not provide funds for decommissioning the landfill.
Kiteezi was commissioned in 1996. It should have been commissioned in 2018 but KCCA continued to use it despite the deteriorating situation
He said he had demanded that KCCA deploy standby engineers on the landfill where garbage from Kampala and the neighboring district is dumped. While the landfill was disaster-prone, Muwadda told the Parliament that there was no form of disaster warning in the area neighboring the residences. Hon. Muwada speaking….
Muwadda was contributing to a statement by the State Minister for Disaster, Lillian Aber in which she was updating the Parliament about the Kiteezi disaster that claimed 23 bodies. END.
