Entebbe Mayor , Fabrice Rulinda  has given Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) four  days to dump garbage at Nkumba dumping site despite the previous agreement between Katabi town council and KCCA.

Rulinda mentioned the  resolution to journalists on Friday evening after council’s committee meeting that resolved to give KCCA only four days.

“We have as the council decided to allow KCCA dump garbage in Nkumba in for a  period of four days as they look for an alternative place to use” Rulinda

On Monday, KCCA and Katabi Town Council had reached an agreement to dump garbage at the Nkumba site in Katabi Town Council for a period of one month.

However, according to the Entebbe Mayor this wont be achieved  citing issues with land ownership and KCCA’s handling of the situation.

Rulinda emphasized that the 14-acre site, located along Lake Victoria, is insufficient for handling the additional garbage.

However , the two conflicting authorities have not harmonized.

A conflict of interest remains  emerging between the Mayor of Katabi Town Council, Ronald Kalema  and the Mayor of Entebbe Municipal Council.

The two officials hold  differing views on the ownership and control of the Nkumba dumping site, a contentious issue that has sparked debate and tension in the area.
