“Under the FDC Leadership Academy, we will roll out a nationwide training program for all elected FDC local government leaders, covering governance and service delivery, legal rights and obligations of elected officials, budget oversight and accountability, community mobilization, and representation of marginalized groups, including women, youth, and persons with disabilities,” Amuriat said.

The Kisoro by-elections were mostly calm, with allegedly a few cases of malpractices reported. The independent candidate, Grace Ngabirano Akifeza, who was defeated in the NRM primaries, won the elections, with the National Resistance Movement candidate coming second.

Despite the strong quest for reconciliation from Najjanankumbi, the leadership at Katonga seems to be determined to maintain their way to the formalization of the new political party, the People's Front for Freedom (PFF).

The Kiteezi tragedy highlights the need for better waste management practices, regulation of scavenging activities, and emergency preparedness in Uganda.

The Katonga group has since accused their counterparts at Najjanankumbi and the EC of yielding to the invisible hand to delay the party registration process.

KCCA is dumping garbage in Katikolo in Mukono District and is yet to find an alternative dumping site for city garbage that will permanently replace the Kiteezi site, whose usage was suspended after it collapsed last month.

The fate of the FDC party seems to be in the hands of the Electoral Commission, since it will decide which faction is legit amidst squabbles.

Two days after the devastating collapse of the Kiteezi landfill, multiple government agencies have joined forces with the Uganda Police and Red Cross in the ongoing search and recovery operation.
