The KCCA City Executive Committee just told everyone how the Kampala Ministry wasted money meant for helping disaster victims. They spent 2.5 billion shillings on politics instead of helping people hurt by the Kiteezi trash hill collapse.
KCCA leaders shared this news with the Authority last Thursday. They feel angry about how city managers handled money. The report shows big problems with both KCCA workers and the Kampala Ministry itself. Money for helping people went somewhere else entirely.
The Ministry also grabbed $18 million from World Bank loans that should have fixed water drainage issues across Kampala. The City Executive Committee feels upset about this cash grab. They said the Ministry claimed these millions just for "capacity building," which makes no sense to them.
Last August, a huge pile of garbage at the Kiteezi dumping site collapsed and killed at least 30 people. KCCA has no money left to pay the families who lost loved ones. They can't even safely close down the dangerous dump site because funds have disappeared.
The families keep asking for help, but KCCA says they must wait for government experts to decide how much money each family deserves. After the deadly trash mountain collapsed, the government fired KCCA boss Dorothy Kisaka and her assistant David Luyimbazi. Both face legal charges for what happened at Kiteezi.
