Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago has requested the Inspectorate of Government (IGG) to publicly release its report implicating the three Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) directors sacked by President Yoweri Museveni on Tuesday.
Lukwago believes that Ugandans deserve to know the specific roles each individual played in the Kiteezi tragedy, which claimed 35 lives and left many missing.
Lukwago expressed satisfaction with the dismissal of Executive Director Dorothy Kisaka, Deputy Executive Director David Luyimbazi, and Director of Public Health Dr. Daniel Okello but criticized the delay. “The IGG must make the report public,” he said. “Ugandans need to know who’s responsible.”
He also faulted President Museveni for not visiting the Kiteezi site. “We expected Gen Museveni to visit Kiteezi, but he didn’t. Museveni should apologize for the KCCA mess, as he didn’t take the matter seriously from the start.”
President Museveni fired the officials based on the IGG report, which found them negligent.
