Opposition members of parliament say that Kampala Capital City Authority (Amendment) Bill, 2015 which they claim is targeting the current Lord mayor Erias Lukwago may attract massive resistance among the people whose rights to vote their mayor is violated if its not dropped.
The Member of Parliament for Lubaga south John Ken Lukyamuzi says that he will ally with the democratic Ugandans and fight for the election of the lord mayor through universal adult suffrage. He says he cannot be party to the law which seeks to lock out an individual. Lukyamuzi says that if the government is serious about democracy should have a referendum over the way the Lord mayor should be voted instead of dictating for him or her to be voted through electoral college. The Member of Parliament for Busiro East Merdad Segona says that the Kampala Capital City Authority (Amendment) Bill, 2015 is intended to give Ugandans a political head in KCCA who cannot question the expenditure and accountability in the authority.
Busongola North member of parliament William Nzoghu says that they will resist this law in parliament and if they are defeated they will ensure that the opposition wins all the Lord councilor seats in Kampala and the Lord mayor remains the opposition member despite being with ceremonial work.
