Cop caught on camera dumping waste into Nakivubo channel arrested, charged

The Police in Kampala Metropolitan area in coordination with the Environmental Police, have arrested PC Ssekyewa Moses, attached to CPS Kampala, who was caught on camera, dumping sacks of waste products, into the Nakivubo channel.

In the video footage that went around on social media, the officer, after dumping his waste, further aided other civilian accomplices, into dumping more waste into the channel. The footage generated a lot of debate and anger, from several sectors of the public.

SCP Enanga Fred the Police Spokesperson says that the suspect was arrested and charged with the illegal dumping of waste.

“As you are all aware, waste crimes have a serious and detrimental impact on our environment, communities and compliant businesses. It is, therefore, regrettable that an officer who was supposed to better protect the environment, was instead, the one polluting it. Efforts are now in place to trace his other civilian accomplices, for arrest and prosecution,” said Enanga.

The police spokesperson adds that illegal dumping remains a big problem in the country, which calls for great collaboration among all stakeholders.

“We all have a responsibility to dispose of our waste in a proper manner at all times. The Police through its Environmental Protection Police Unit, will continue to work closely with partners, to tackle persistent acts of non-compliance and criminal activity related to waste, which if not treated, recycled or disposed of properly, is a potential hazard for polluting the environment,” noted Enanga.
