President Yoweri Museveni has appointed eight new directors to head different departments of the Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA).

The directors will help KCCA executive director Jennifer Musisi to run the authority. Their appointments took effect last Tuesday.

The officials were Jennifer Busulwa Kaggwa to head the administration and human resources department, Mike Okua as director of legal affairs and Moses Nambale Bwire as internal audit director.

Others were Daniel Kyambadde as director of treasury services, Phoebe Lutaaya Kamya as director of revenue collection and George Agaba Ninsiima as director of physical planning.

Eng. Andrew Kitaka Mubiru was appointed director for engineering and technical services and Harriet Mudondo as director for gender, community services and production.

Busulwa worked with Centenary Bank as a human resource management consultant, while Okua has been a practicing city lawyer.

Kamya was formerly working with the Uganda Revenue Authority as assistant commissioner for arrears and objection management, and also served as assistant commissioner of customs.

Apart from Agaba who served in the defunct Kampala City Council as deputy director of physical planning, the rest of the directors are new in the institution.

Before the new appointment, Mudondo served as project coordinator and executive director of Development Initiative International, a local non-governmental organisation which promotes HIV/AIDS mitigation among Kampala market vendors.

However, appointments for the directorate of public health and environment and that of education and social services are still pending.

According to the KCCA Act 2010, the President has the mandate to appoint the city executive director together with a team of other directors. The law took effect in March.
