Erias Lukwago the Lord Mayor of Kampala.

The delay to collect and remove garbage from residents’ collection centers in Makindye division has raised concern with leaders in area calling for the Lord Mayor, Erias Lukwago’s intervention.

Residents complain that s much of the garbage has spent over two weeks in their collection centers in heaps yet the work of collection was awarded  to private garbage collection companies by Kampala capital city Authority (KCCA).

The piling of garbage in the area has raised more concern with the Political heads led by the Makindye East MP, Ibrahim Kasozi who recently had to hire some youth to collect it using wheel barrows from the residents which intervention was later blocked by the contracted companies though they do not effectively manage this garbage.

Kasozi says they have also realized that the garbage collection companies charge exorbitant fees from residents for their garbage which keep them failing to dispose it off.

He further said that leaders in Kampala are expected to meet with Lord Mayor next week to find a solution to this problem.
