UPDATE: Kayunga Deputy RDC John Lukooki Magezi has warned residents against staying at home or deliberately avoiding tomorrow’s nationwide mass cleaning exercise. He said many residents failed to participate in last month’s exercise, instead remaining at home until the allocated time elapsed. Speaking at a press conference this afternoon, Magezi said authorities are prepared to use additional force, if necessary, to enforce compliance, emphasising that the exercise is important for improving public health and protecting the environment. #MonitorUpdates 📹: Denis Mukisa
