Kiteezi tragedy: If only Kampala bosses had paid heed to advice...
There is neither space nor need to state what God wants us to do after waking us up with death of our poor people buried under garbage generated by the well-off – the poor have no garbage to generate. ILLUSTRATION | JOSEPH NYAGAH | NMG
Christians believe that God so loved the world that He gave his only Son that whoever believeth in him shall not perish... That was over 2,000 years ago. But the Almighty seems to also use steam and ice methods; this time instead of sending a beloved child, He has loved Uganda so much that he has sent us our own garbage to shake us from slumber so we start or resume thinking.
It was a week ago on the morning of Saturday, August 10, when He let the garbage mountain of Kiteezi, a mere 10 or so kilometres from Kampala city centre, crumble and bury dozens of people to death.
