In the new rates expected to commence in July, each household in the city is expected to pay from 5,000 to 10,000 Shillings to the private garbage collectors every month. Those living in senior quarters will be paying between 20,000 to 30,000 Shillings to the firm that will be contracted to manage waste next month.
Moses Otimong, the Acting City Clerk Soroti, says that they are considering a public-private partnership specifically for the new market once it is operationalized.
The 27 Billion Shillings market was constructed under the Market and Agricultural Trade Improvement Program Project-2 MATIP-2 with funding from the African Development Bank.
