The Ugandan President, Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, has directed the Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) to expedite the handover of the Kiteezi Landfill to Zoomlion Ghana Limited, a subsidiary of the Jospong Group of Companies.
The directive, issued during a high-profile meeting at the State House in Entebbe, sets the stage for the Ghana-based company with "vast experience in waste and landfill management" to begin decommissioning works at the landfill site.
The President, speaking to a delegation from the Jospong Group led by its Executive Chairman, Dr Joseph Siaw Agyepong, expressed his unwavering confidence in the Jospong brand, praising its expertise in waste management, particularly in recycling and composting.
President Museveni emphasized that Jospong's Integrated Recycling and Composting initiatives represent a bold and much-needed approach to tackling Africa's long-standing waste management challenges.
