The top-level management engagement was aimed at bringing together the technocrats and politicians to discuss the bottlenecks limiting Kampala from becoming a better city.
The Minister for Kampala and Metropolitan Affairs, Hajjati Minsa Kabanda, has called upon Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) political leaders and administrators to work together to transform Kampala into a "smart City."
"It’s our primary responsibility as political leaders and administrators to make sure that we build a better working environment for our people as we strive to make Kampala a smart City,’’ Kabanda said.
Kabanda made the remarks while presiding over a stakeholders engagement meeting on key governance and development issues organized by KCCA, at Sheraton Hotel.
She applauded the KCCA Executive Director, Dorothy Kisaka, for the millstones taken to make the Central Business District a better workplace for people.
"We want an orderly and organized City which is attractive to every person. This can be done when we all work together,’’ she added.
The top-level management engagement was aimed at bringing together the technocrats and politicians to discuss the bottlenecks limiting Kampala from becoming a better city.
Attendees included the KCCA ED, Kisaka and her deputy Eng. David Luyimbazi, Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago and his deputy Doreen Nyanjula, KCCA speaker Zaharah Luyirika and Kampala deputy Resident City Commissioner Hajjat Hawa Ndege.
Others were Division Mayors including Mayor Lubaga Zacchy Mberaze, Emmanuel Serunjogi of Kawempe Division, Paul Mugambe Nakawa, Salim Uhuru Kampala Central, among other leaders.
According to Kisaka, the meeting between the leaders was meant to strengthen teamwork as they strive for a smart City.
"We want this time around to work as a team to improve the image of Kampala and outline things that affect our city and come with a solution," Kisaka said.
Speaking after the meeting, Lord Lukwago condemned the technocrats whom he said had breached the rule of law while implementing institution activities that have cost the organization a lot of money.
"KCCA is paying billions of money in litigation caused by some of the mistakes by KCCA technocrats. During Jennifer Musisi's tenure, many properties of people a long Bweyogerere railway were destroyed and those went to court and now want the institution to pay," Lukwago said.
