Residents of Kayunga Town and neighbouring areas have expressed concern over contamination of River Ssezibwa by waste from Kayunga abattoir.
The pipe that carries the waste from the abattoir to the faecal sludge treatment facility broke down six months ago and since then, untreated waste from the abattoir has been flowing into the river.
The residents are worried that the continued contamination of the river could expose them to diseases such as cholera.
