The Lord Mayor Salongo Erias Lukwago has reiterated his stand never to meet with President Museveni, as requested by the Ministers for Kampala if they are to forge a way forward for the transformation of Kampala City.
Lukwago says that his meeting alone with Museveni will not have any positive mark for the City its better for the head of state to meet them as a council since they are elected leaders in Kampala who include; himself, the Mayors and Councilors, and the best meeting place should be at the City Hall.
The Lord Mayor was officiating at the closure of the induction of Councilors from Makindye Division at Rider Hotel Seeta where he appreciated the organizers and the participants for being attentive and interested to know about the legal regime governing Kampala, calling on to embrace the proposals for amending the law in good faith.
About the development strategies for Kampala, he called upon the Central Government to commit at least 3% of the National Budget to the Capital City development that will fund the infrastructural improvement including, street lights, drainage master plan, paving roads and establishing affordable workspaces among other.
He added the City leadership is not willing to come up with exorbitant taxes and trade licenses to harass the business community in Kampala yet they are already funding enough of the national budget for operating in the CDB.
