There is a wave of uncertainty at City Hall as the curtain draws on Jennifer Musisi’ contract. Ms Musisi’s second term contract as Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) executive director expires on 14th April.
However, there are no clues on what next after then. While appearing before the Parliamentary Committee on Commissions, Statutory bodies and State Enterprise (Cosase) on March 2, 2017 to explain her role in the controversial Oil cash bonanza where she got Shs50m, Ms Musisi regretted having taken up KCCA’s top job.
She stated she would have declined the appointment if she had known what entailed being a KCCA executive director. According to Section 17(2) of the KCCA Act, the executive director shall be appointed by President on the advice of the public service.
A person shall qualify to be appointed executive director if he or she is of high moral character and proven integrity, and is qualified to be appointed as Permanent Secretary in government.
In her two terms of office, Musisi has been entangled in endless conflicts with Mr Lukwago over who should manage the city.
