The Ministry of Local Government has officially relocated the garbage dumping site for Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) from Nkumba Landfill to Menvu in Nansana Municipality, Wakiso district.
During the meeting, the Minister for Works and Transport, Gen. Katumba Wamala, pledged to construct roads leading to the new dumpsite.
The decision was made during a meeting chaired by the First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of East African Community Affairs, Rebecca Alitwala Kadaga, on August 21, 2024, at the Office of the Prime Minister in Kampala.

After the meeting, while addressing journalists, the Katabi Town Council Mayor, Ronald Kalema, said that leaders from KCCA, Entebbe municipality, Nansana municipality, Katabi Town Council, Kira Town Council, Mukono district, and other stakeholders were convened to discuss alternative dumping sites.
He noted that the Kira Town Council Mayor has provided 12 acres of land at Menvu in Nansana Municipality, Wakiso district, for the new garbage dumping site. This move comes as the government works on plans for Kiteezi.
“We aim to ensure that the area around the dumpsite is left in better condition, allowing access for future operations. While garbage trucks from Entebbe Municipality and Katabi Town Council will continue to use the Menvu site, we are focusing on maintaining the roads affected by these operations,” he said.
Kalema also mentioned that agreements have been made with KCCA to repair roads damaged by garbage trucks to ensure they are in good condition for future use.
This relocation follows a number of discussions and disagreements over the past week between KCCA, Katabi Town Council, and Entebbe Municipality officials regarding the future of the Nkumba landfill.
