‘My friend died at Kitezi Rubbish Dump’

The tears of tears, 22-year-old Rubbish Collector Okuku Prince remembers the moment that the lifeless body is homeless in Uganda, Kampala.

The Landslide of the Kitezi Dump in August was killed 30 people, including his friend Sanya Kezia.

“I think some people under the garbage,” he told the BBC.

Many of them have been living by washing and selling any rejected things they learned to have a value – anything from hottest bottles.

A blame game explodes after fatal collapse, which Kampala’s City Council and Central Government accuses each other to neglect tons of burying.

If government tractors finally dig up Kezia’s body, there are injuries to the 21-year-old face.

Her friend was miserable to see her covered with stink, decayed waste.

“We are not safe here. Unless they (repair) it, maybe leverage it. That people do not safely study Uganda law.

Tuition fees cannot be reached after his family is not financially stable, his daily routine is now a distant crying from libraries and lecture hall.

Unemployment in crises is at Uganda’s crisis level, and many are like Mr Prince who is always at risk for their health and leaving their dreams just to make a living.

“I came here in the morning in the morning, collecting bags of polytheene, bring it to the wash and sell,” Mr Prince said. “I made 10,000 shillings (equivalent to $ 2.70 or £ 2.10) a day.”

The collapse left him in addition of financial grief while he used to live on the litter – but needed to move because of salvation concerns.

Others’ homes are also destroyed by rescue operations.

Money charges are paid to the families of the dead, but not about 200 people lost their homes, admitted by local BBC authorities.

Officers “waiting for appreciation and spending the budget Dr Sarah Karen Zalwango, the new head of public health and the cavalry in Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA).

Others argue that the kitezi collapse is unavoidable because the basic common sense is ignored.

“You can’t reach four million people, take out all the junk, mixing – rot and unbearable -” it doesn’t do it) do it on a dumping site.

Kitesezi Landfill was founded in 1996, with financing from the World Bank, to provide one, major deposit for solid waste made by Kampala.

As Kampala grows, so is the largest rubbish trash.

In the northern edge of the city, it now contains 15 acres (37 acres) – a place size of over 22 football pitches – with its odor of spreading.

Birds of victims appear flying overhead.

City and business residents make an estimated 2,500 tonnes of waste every day, half ended with the disposes of sites across the city – the largest Kitezi.

But the problem is that Kiteezi is lacking on-site recycling site, sorting and incinatory facilities that landfills should be obtained.

“With each layer of trash is held, the underlined layers can be weak, especially the decay and decay of waste in organic increase in temperature,” Mr. Muramuzi explained.

“Without ties, methane and other gases remain trapped underneath, further multiplying violations of obscene structure.”

However it is easy to repair, he added, as long as the government makes regular monitors and audits that cause environmental, social and economic requirements.

If it is in place, “the serpent happened to Kitezi to avoid”, he said.

So, if the solution is simple, why didn’t this happen?

The answer is as a combination of power struggles and false finance.

The ultimate responsibility for continuing Kampala “clean, home, and lasting environment” is associated with KCCA, from the forumicic opistic party, said his office lacks the power to change changes.

KCCA says it is always a proposed decommission plan to Kiteezi but says funds to do – $ 9.7m – exceeds the city budgets.

“All the support we obtained is goodwill to the colleagues and donors such as Bill and Melinda Gate, Giz, and their capacity …

“If we get enough funding from the central government, we are more now.”

There is no word from the government when it allocate funds for the largest dump in Kampala.

It pays $ 1,350 in each of the dead families, saying any extra money comes when government agencies are “found responsible”.

A month later, a report prepared by the police police in the country of the country of Provident Years Museveni – sang three senior Secortance and Public Health Directors.

James Bond Kunbehere, the solid litter officer in Kampala claims that the deceased collapse last year was a necessary wake call.

Currently, Uganda capitalities have plans to turn organic waste to compost and decrease “unnecessary waste” to come to town.

But they want the public to be highlighted again. Once people pay one of the seven private waste firms operating in Kampala to collect their trash, which is all combined with a little thoughtful recycling.

“We did not change the mindset of residents to settle waste,” Mr. Kunhere told the BBC.

“If you are running, waste has different destinations. If you mix, it’s all going to the USA – the landfill.”

Experts say such initiatives are important but not discussing the larger structured kitezi disabilities.

And for people whose lives are broken into recent events there, it is very small.

“They promised us to pay, but I didn’t receive anything – almost everyone complained,” Mr Prince told BBC.

“Our friend is lost. Everything that surprised the process is sad.”
