The operation to retrieve survivors or bodies from the collapsed building in Kiwempe Zone, Makindye division continued on Monday with enforcement from police fire and rescue department.
Two days after the collapse of the building, one person identified as Mitana Kenneth was retrieved from the rubble alive and rushed to hospital.
Through frail, Mitana was holding the Holy Bible in his hands and residents believe it was the reason he was still breathing even after 48 hours.
With hope that there may be more people alive, police and the rescue teams scaled up operations and two more bodies of yet to be identified persons were retrieved.
A section of residents expressed disappointment that police called off the operations on Sunday evening yet more people would have been found alive.
“Can you imagine that at just 6pm, they stopped operations? If they had continued, more lived could have been saved,” One resident told the press.
Others blamed Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) saying that it did not do enough to supervise the works and therefore they are responsible.
