Ugandan President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has directed the Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) to urgently hand over the Kiteezi Landfill to Zoomlion Ghana Limited, a subsidiary of the Jospong Group of Companies. 







During a meeting at the State House, President Museveni praised Jospong’s experience in recycling and composting, highlighting its potential to address Africa&#8217;s waste management challenges. 



He emphasized the need for African nations to unite and become self-sufficient in key sectors.



The meeting included several high-ranking officials from Jospong, such as Executive Chairman Dr. Joseph Siaw Agyepong, as well as Ugandan government officials, including the Minister for Kampala, Ms. Minsa Kabanda.



The directive comes after delays from KCCA officials due to legal concerns about the handover.



 Minister Kabanda had previously urged swift action to transfer the site and involve the local community, with plans to start operations by March 2024.



Dr. Agyepong expressed gratitude for the support from the Ugandan government, viewing this partnership as a significant step toward improving waste management in the country.
