The official handover ceremony took place at the city hall, where the KCCA Executive Director Dorothy Kisaka emphasized that this donation aligns with KCCA’s vision of creating a smart city and supporting the police force’s expertise in handling fire and rescue operations.

In her statement, Kisaka said, “We donated these trucks to the police to enhance their capacity as experts in fire and rescue services. While we are working towards building our own firefighting capacity in the future, we recognize the immediate need to support the police in their crucial role.”

He mentioned, “These small-sized trucks will maneuver quickly and respond effectively, particularly in areas where our larger trucks encounter difficulties. They will play a crucial role in containing fires swiftly while larger units join the efforts.”

The event was attended by several key figures, including AIGP Richard Edyegu, the Director of Logistics and Engineering, highlighting the importance of this collaboration between KCCA and the Uganda Police in bolstering emergency response capabilities.
