A devastating landslide at the Kiteezi landfill in Kampala has killed at least 21 people and displaced around 1,000 after a massive mound of waste (rubbish) collapsed late Friday night, August 9, 2024. The heavy rains in the recent weeks are believed to be the main cause of the collapse, and fears remain that more bodies might be buried under the debris.
Subsequently, the three were fired by President Yoweri Museveni.
