According to a letter written to KCCA dated October 11, 2024, the Minister of State for Relief, Disaster Preparedness, and Refugees, Lillian Aber, warned KCCA and asked both the political and technical team to warn residents around the landfill to vacate immediately as there is a likelihood of another landfill collapse, which could be very catastrophic.

The landfill has been decommissioned, and people staying around Kiteezi have been warned that the incident could happen anytime, though some still remain hesitant and have refused to leave the place.

Political leaders in Kampala, led by Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago, have warned of another catastrophe at the Kitezi landfill if no funds are released to carry out remedial measures.
