In Masindi
Residents from different villages of Kimengo Sub county have decried the poor hygiene at the upcoming trading centre at Kiryana village along Kafu Masindi road.
The residents expressed their concern on Wednesday during a community dialogue organized by Recreation for Development and Peace RDP Uganda at Kimengo sub county headquarters.
They explained that the garbage generated at the centre is becoming uncontrollable since the people operating in the centre cannot manage it.
Gloria Kabasinguzi a vendor at the same centre explained that the garbage around the centre is too much and the residents residing within the centre have not taken responsibility to manage it.
She said that government should come in and compel the tenderer to take his responsibility and do the needful.
She also noted that the latrines which are at the centre are not enough to handle the growing population explaining that this has put them at a risk of contracting diseases like cholera and diarrhea.
Robert Mugarura the vice chairperson Kiryana village noted that government should come in and construct a latrine and also gazette a place where garbage generated in the center can be collected from so that they can easily manage it.
Yesse Kisembo the chairperson Community Monitoring Group in Kimengo Subcounty told the meeting that chairperson LC1 Kiryana village James Kabagambe collected 50.000 from each vendor on condition that they were going to construct a latrine for them noting that they don’t know what happened.
In his response David Mugarura the secretary for defense Kiryana village said they were going to construct a latrine but they were disrupted by the ongoing chaos concerning disputed land where the centre is sitting.
Addressing the residents, Morish Ogenyi from RDP Uganda said that the issues which were raised are going to be incorporated in the report which is going to be presented to the relevant authorities.
