A scheduled Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) council has flopped due to the failure of technocrats to show up.
On August 19th, the KCCA Lord Mayor, Erias Lukwago issued a notice for a council meeting scheduled for today.
This was supposed to be the first KCCA council meeting in the 2018/19 financial year. The KCCA council last convened in May.
Attempts to convene several meetings have been futile because of the ping pong between KCCA technocrats, politicians and Kampala Minister, Betti Olive Kamya.
When Lukwago issued a notice for the meeting, the KCCA Deputy Executive Director, Sam Sserunkuma wrote back proposing amendments to the agenda, an indication that they were fine with the date.
However, Sserunkuma wrote again notifying Lukwago that technocrats couldn’t attend the council because they had a scheduled management meeting on the same day.
This morning, KCCA councilors turned up for the council meeting only to find the council chambers under lock and key. Lukwago couldn’t have any of this.
He told journalists that the council is the supreme organ at KCCA and takes precedence over any other activity.
