?? In Uganda: Kiteezi Landfill Project

? Partnership & Goals

• 
  

  In October 2024, Uganda’s government signed an MoU with Jospong Group to handle the 39‑acre Kiteezi Landfill (just outside Kampala), transforming it into an eco‑recreation zone.

  
  


• 
  

  Plans include:

  
  
  
  
  
  • 
    

    Composting organic waste (≈80% of Kampala’s garbage) into fertilizer

    
    
  
  
  • 
    

    Recycling plastics, glass, metals

    
    
  
  
  • 
    

    Building transfer stations

    
    
  
  
  • 
    

    Setting up a bin-manufacturing plant

    
    
  
  
  • 
    

    Creating 2,000+ direct jobs

    
    
  
  
  
  

? Strategic Plans

• 
  

  The landfill is to be:

  
  
  
  
  
  • 
    

    Decommissioned, capped, slopes stabilized

    
    
  
  
  • 
    

    Converted to usable land and linked to composting/recycling facilities

    
    
  
  
  
  

? Legal & Procedural Challenges

? Suspension of Activities

• 
  

  In October 2024, Uganda’s Inspector General of Government (IGG, Beti Kamya Turwomwe) suspended Jospong’s operations at Kiteezi due to procurement irregularities—allegations included:

  
  
  
  
  
  • 
    

    No open bidding

    
    
  
  
  • 
    

    Lack of environmental impact assessment

    
    
  
  
  • 
    

    No feasibility study

    
    
  
  
  • 
    

    Questions over how Jospong would recoup investment if the service was offered at zero cost.

    
    
  
  
  
  

? Investigation Status

• 
  

  The IGG ruled (Oct 17, 2024) to pause all dealings until the investigation was complete. The government has contended it followed correct procedures .

  
  

? Current Position & Outlook

• 
  

  As of recent months, the project remains under review by Ugandan authorities; no clear agreement or construction has been resumed.

  
  


• 
  

  Should the investigation conclude positively, Jospong aims to transform Kiteezi into a model of sustainable waste management, with facilities for composting, recycling, and new green public space.
