The coordinator of intelligence services, Gen David Tinyefuza on Wednesday morning vacated the house belonging to the Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA), ending a row over its occupation.
The house located on Plot 2, Mabua Road in Kololo, an upscale Kampala suburb, served as a national intelligence coordinator centre headed by Gen Tinyefuza.
By 9:00am, all the property in the posh house had been removed. The last items which included chairs, tables and other household items were ferried on two small pick-ups at 8:30am.
Speaking shortly after handing over the house to KCCA, security minister, Muruli Mukasa lauded the Authority for allowing the army to use the house.
He appealed to KCCA to maintain a cordial relationship with the army, saying both were serving the good of the country.
“I am pleased to hand over this house to the rightful owners, KCCA. I hope that since we are both Government departments, we shall continue to work together for the good of this country,†the minister said.
The intelligence coordination centre has moved to another mansion in Bugolobi, the minister said, but declined disclose the details.
The hand over was witnessed by the chairperson of the presidential affairs committee of Parliament, Barnabas Tinkasimire.
He commended the KCCA executive director, Jennifer Musisi for being courageous and diligent in handling the matter.
