The Lord Mayor ofKampala, Hajji Erias Lukwago has set up a committee to find out how 800 million shillings were used to evict vendors from the city streets.

Lukwago says that there is no way how the KCCA director, Jenifer Musisi Semakula could have used 800 million shillings in evicting vendors. However a source in KCCA accounts department told us that out of the 800 million shillings, only 88 million shillings was used in eviction exercise and the remaining balance cannot be accounted for.

Lukwago says that negative forces fight him wherever he asks for accountability of such public funds. He says that there would be no pothole if the public funds at KCCA were not being embezzled. Lukwago says billions of money disappear in KCCA coffers every single day.

 President Museveni not so long ago told the citizens that the government created the post of city executive director and that of Minister forKampalato fight graft inKampala. However desipite the creation of the above posts graft is on increase in Kampala and in Uganda as general. In fact one can conclude that 85% of the Uganda public officials and civil servants are corrupt.
