Gen. Saleh, NWSC’s Dr. Mugisha Push Land Ownership Management to Fix Kampala’s Waste Crisis
Gen. Salim Saleh and NWSC officials are advocating for improved land management to address Kampala's severe waste crisis. They argue that the city's inability to collect and process waste is primarily due to fragmented land ownership rather than a lack of equipment.
Why it matters
Effective waste management is critical for public health and urban development in rapidly growing African cities like Kampala.
Gen. Salim Saleh, NWSC MD Dr. Eng. Silver Mugisha and other key stakeholders have discussed the need for better land ownership management and coordination as the key to solving Kampala's solid waste crisis, arguing the capital's garbage problem stems from a failure to organize land rather than a shortage of trucks.
The two spoke Tuesday in Kapeeka, in Nakaseke district, at a meeting called by Gen. Saleh, senior presidential adviser and coordinator of Operation Wealth Creation, to review a joint sanitation drive in the capital.
