Former Executive Director of Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA), Dorothy Kisaka Kaseega, along with former Deputy Director Eng. David Luyimbaazi Ssali and former Health Director Dr. Daniel Okello, are expected to appear in court today over their alleged negligence in connection with a deadly landslide in Kiteezi.
The landslide, which occurred at the Kiteezi garbage dump, claimed the lives of more than 30 people. This tragedy has led to a thorough investigation, with President Yoweri Museveni ordering a report on the incident from the Inspector General of Government (IGG).
According to the police, Kisaka and her co-accused will appear in Kasangati court, where evidence collected from searches at their homes will be presented. The police have stated that their investigation files are ready for prosecution.
Yesterday, the former KCCA officials were taken to their homes as part of the investigation. Police spokesperson Rusoke Kituuma confirmed that they could appear in court at any time.
It is believed that President Museveni dismissed Dorothy Kisaka and her colleagues after reviewing the IGG report and instructed the police to investigate further.
The outcome of this court case will shed more light on the responsibility of the former KCCA officials in the tragic event.
