Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) acting executive director Andrew Mubiru Kitaka has interdicted two Makindye Division officials over a building that collapsed in the area last week and killed 13 people.
The KCCA head of public and corporate affairs, Mr Peter Kaujju, confirmed that Mr Douglas Nsubuga, the physical planner, and Mr Peter Kiggundu, the inspector of buildings, have been suspended.

All the five city divisions have a physical planner and a building inspector to oversee development.
KCCA says for one to alter the already approved building plan, they must first seek approval from authorities.
Makindye Division Mayor Ali Nganda Mulyanyama said that KCCA must step up efforts to ensure that all developers adhere to construction guidelines to mitigate collapsing of more buildings.
