The Minister for Kampala and Metropolitan Affairs, Ms Betty Amongi, has extended the appointment of Eng. Andrew Kitaka in acting capacity as Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) executive director.

In a June 25 letter seen by this website, Amongi asked Eng. Kitaka to continue monitoring operations at the KCCA as the city waits for the confirmation of the new executive director, Ms Dorothy Kisaka.

“Considering that the office of the executive director is crucial for overall coordination of various directorates, and noting that there exists a gap which should be bridged awaiting completion of appointment of a substitutive executive director by the Public Service Commission, I have assigned you duties of the executive director in the interim as we await for the appointment of a substantive executive director,” Ms Amongi wrote.

Last Month, President Kaguta Museveni in fulfilment of his mandate, nominated Kampala city lawyer, Mrs Dorothy Kisaka as the Executive Director of Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA).

Kisaka is expected to replace Eng. Andrew Mubiru Kitaka who has been in an acting role since December 20 2018 when the former Executive Director, Mrs Jennifer Musisi resigned.

Ms Kisaka can not immediately start her duties since she has not yet been approved by the Public Service Commission (PSC).

Museveni also nominated Mr David Luyimbazi Ssali as her deputy, Dr Daniel Okello Ayen as director of public health and environment, Ms Grace Akullo (director of human resource and administration) and Ms Sarah Kanyike (head of the directorate of gender).

Similarly, Kampala City Lord Mayor, Erias Lukwago recently appointed Doreen Nyanjura as his new Deputy Mayor to replace Sarah Kanyike.
