Kampala City Council Authority (KCCA) is to recruit 1,200 workers compared to the previous 1,300 workers of Kampala City Council, the executive director, Jennifer Musisi has said.

Musisi     explained that the process to rebrand the institution and creating a positive efficient city administration had started but real gains from the government takeover of the city would be determined by the quality of human resource.

Jennifer Musisi was appearing before the presidential affairs committee over a petition by employees of the defunct KCC. Currently the only permanent staff KCCA has are the nine directors and Musisi.

She said that under KCC, there was lack of proper staff, asset and financial inventories. Some staff, she said, were unknown and some staff on the pay roll had not been legally appointed.

Employees of the defunct KCC petitioned Parliament demanding to know their fate because under the new structure their positions had been changed while others had been abolished.

They further accusing the ED of recruiting workers before public service had advertised for the jobs. Among other issues, they also stated that there was no need for them to reapply since they had served in the institution for years.    

On those wishing to retire voluntarily, Musisi explained that KCCA was recommending that they get a severance package.
