Lukwago: Musisi left KCCA swimming in debts

MUHAMAD MATOVU

Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago has revealed that Kampala Capital City Authority could close down due to the debts left behind by the former KCCA director Jennifer Musisi.

Addressing journalists at his office in Kampala, Lukwago said KCCA is now struggling with a lot of debts worth Shs 100 billion that was used by her while serving the institution.

"I am worried, if there is no intervention, if there are no drastic measures taken, we will see the institution closing down,"Lukwago noted.

He noted that this was the reason why the institution called for a comprehensive audit report which did not materialise because senior directors started resigning.

He further expressed his disappointment at President Museveni over taking the responsibilities of KCCA by getting involved in different activities.

"This is sad. We should respect the institution of KCCA. We should respect the processes provided before the law," he said.

He called upon those who applied for jobs at KCCA and went through to come and occupy their offices before it's too late.

"Finally public services have responded to the resolutions we made. So the exercise of staff appraisals has commenced. Please those of you who passed the interviews, come," he said.
