Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) councilors boycotted a meeting called by the Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago. Lukwago had called the meeting to approve the fees for taxi operators working in Kampala. The meeting failed to take place on Wednesday at KCCA head offices in Kampala.

Lukwago told journalists that it was the councilors who had requested him to call the meeting but he was surprised when the same councilors rejected the meeting they had wanted.

The councilors were supposed to endorse the 120; 000 shillings set by the KCCA director, Jenifer Musisi or endorse the taxi drivers’ proposal to pay 70, 000 shillings per month.

Only six councilors turned up for the meeting with Lukwago. We are told that the KCCA director took the councilors who were meant to be in Lukwago’s meeting on a tour of the city.

This came true when Lukwago was yesterday attacked by a sleeping bug at Kampala Students Centre where he had gone to open a seminar on HIV/AIDS.

Lukwago was the one presiding over the function. One of the KCCA councilors intimated to us that Lukwago really struggled to keep his eyes open in vain.

The students looked at him in disbelief as the sleeping bug fought him throughout the function. Lukwago was overheard telling his escorts that he had not slept last night.

The calculative Mabikke is utilizing the political rivalry between Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago and KCCA director Jenifer Musisi to tell the voters in Kampala how they missed him.

Mabikke is reportedly spending some reasonable time in Kampala every month launching projects aimed at driving poverty out of the Kampala residents.

Of course this is not good news to Erias Lukwago who is now engaging in administrative battles with Ms Musisi.

Reports are not yet clear whether Lukwago will seek re-election. But in case he does, Mabikke has stormed the ground much earlier than him.

Makerere University councilor to KCCA, Bernard Luyiga who had been rumoured to have crossed to NRM after the Lord Mayor of Kampala, Erias Lukwago declined to appoint him deputy mayor recently  has described the allegations against him as baseless.

Lukwago recently named Sulaiman Kidandala as the deputy mayor of Kampala declining to name Luyiga who had made an alliance with NRM councilors to back him for the same post.

Luyiga has however told our informers today in Kampala that that his ‘marriage’ with NRM councilors did not mean that he had defected to the ruling party in Uganda.

“I note with concern baseless allegations that I crossed to NRM because of Lukwago’s failure to appoint me as Deputy Lord Mayor. I wish to state categorically very cleanly that such information is coming from people who for some reasons (best known to them selves want to see me down politically), he explains.

Lukwago says that he wants when he retires from politics to concentrate on running the affairs of Uganda Muslim Supreme Council.
