    Kiteezi Landlords Urge Swift Compensation Following Landfill Damage

    Kampala, Uganda | Landlords whose properties were destroyed by the Kiteezi landfill are calling for expedited compensation from the government.

    Two weeks ago, State Minister for Disaster Preparedness, Relief, and Refugees, Lilian Aber, assured affected landlords and those in the buffer zone that compensation would follow once the valuation process is complete. However, landlords are pressing for quicker action, requesting immediate document reviews to facilitate the valuation process.

    Jonathan Kasule, a landlord affected by the landfill, expressed concern over the difficulties many families are facing in finding alternative accommodation. He also urged the Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) to allow residents in the buffer zone to return to their homes while awaiting compensation.

    Another landlord, Muhammad Kironde, raised doubts about the compensation plan, arguing that many landlords may not receive adequate compensation relative to their property values before the damage occurred.

    Rose Nakabugo, the Assistant Commissioner for Disaster Preparedness, confirmed that the government has documented all individuals impacted by the incident, including the 81 houses affected by water from the landfill.

    On Thursday, Frank Rusa Nyakaana, acting Executive Director of KCCA, announced that a committee from the government valuer's office has been established to assess the damaged properties. This committee will compile a report to present to the cabinet, which will determine the compensation amounts.
