Govt struggles to find land to resettle Kiteezi landfill victims

Third Deputy Prime Minister Lukia Nakadama Isanga expressed hope that a solution would be found within the next two weeks, enabling those affected to leave the temporary camp.

KAMPALA | The government has yet to identify suitable land for relocating Kiteezi residents displaced by the recent garbage slide.

Third Deputy Prime Minister Lukia Nakadama Isanga expressed hope that a solution would be found within the next two weeks, enabling those affected to leave the temporary camp.

Currently, 292 people remain in the camp, which was established as a temporary shelter for those impacted by the disaster.

These residents are awaiting government decisions regarding compensation so they can rebuild their lives.

Prime Minister Nakadama explained that the delay in relocation plans is due to the challenge of finding appropriate land.

She noted that, given the large number of people affected, the process requires careful consideration.

However, she reassured the public that the government is committed to compensating every individual impacted by the disaster.

Compensation will be based on the number of registered residents who can verify their identities as those affected by the garbage slide.
