Residents in Kabale Municipality are becoming increasingly concerned about the deteriorating sanitation conditions in the town, as the absence of roadside dustbins raises the risk of disease transmission. Individuals like Mathias Namanya, Jungu Hamuza, and Akanyijika Allan, among others, have voiced their frustrations regarding the inconvenience and the negative impact on the town’s cleanliness.
They firmly point the finger at municipal authorities, accusing them of neglecting the issue and emphasizing the potential for disease outbreaks due to improper waste disposal.
These concerned residents are urging authorities to take prompt action and are calling for the reinstallation of essential roadside dustbins to address the growing garbage crisis in Kabale Town.
According to Alex Beingana, the Town Clerk of the Southern Division, Kabale town once had an adequate number of dustbins, but they were misused. People were using them for improper disposal, including dumping items like children’s items and diapers, which led to their removal.
Emmanuel Sentaro Byamugisha, the Mayor of Kabale Municipality, acknowledges the problem and assures residents that the Municipal Council has acquired Tukutuku for garbage collection, which is set to resume its services soon.
