Parliament is bracing itself for a heated debate on Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) report with both the Lord Mayor, Erias Lukwago, and KCCA Executive Director, Ssemakula Musisi, underscoring the importance of the debate with their attendance.


The parliamentary VIP gallery is packed to the rafters with pro-Lukwago and Musisi councilors eager to see where the pendulum on the contentious report will swing.

The report by the Public Service and Local Government committee of parliament has caused waves since its release last week, with its recommendation for the President to take over the Executive and Legislative functions of KCCA for six months to stem what MPs have described as “shameful anarchy in the city.”

The report follows a petition to parliament late last year by Lukwago in which he accuses Musisi of grossly mismanaging the city and spawning paralysis at City Hall.

Opposition MPs were earlier this morning engrossed in a meeting with Lukwago in what appears to be a last ditch attempt, according to sources that attended the meeting, to block debate on the report on grounds of its authenticity.
