: City residents encouraged to uphold cleanliness and responsible waste management.
The call was made during a community cleaning activity held at Nyabugogo Bus Terminal, where the City Mayor and the Minister of Local Government urged residents to take collective responsibility for keeping public spaces clean.
Activities included collecting and properly disposing of waste, cleaning public spaces, and painting commercial buildings, among others.
The officials also emphasised the importance of properly managing and channelling used water. Residents and businesses were cautioned against discharging used water into public drainage channels, as this can contribute to the spread of diseases and increase the risk of hydrometeorological hazards.
Recently, some facilities were fined for violating cleanliness guidelines, including the improper discharge of used water into public drainage systems.
In , keeping our city clean is a shared responsibility.
