Having taken Musisi’s money, the councilors and the lord mayor are organising to take Jenifer Musisi head on following her reported mismanagement of the city.

In the last secret meeting the lord mayor had with the councilor before he went to China they all agreed that they need to fight for their political sovereignty to avoid being swallowed by the technocrats in the names of Jenifer Semakula Musisi.

And upon realisation of this, rumours has it that President Museveni is about to replace Musisi with Annet Muhoozi who is Musisi’s deputy at the moment and she has been assigned to take over the entire administration of KCCA.

The ongoing wrangles between Ms Musisi and the Kampala district land Boss Yusufu Nsibambi who is also a prominent lawyer in town ranges from the land in Kampala which is so prime that Ms Musisi wants to give to her bosses without following the proper procedure of the area land committee more so in a fraudulent manner that a man of Nsibambi’s caliber cannot accept.

We are told that Jenifer now opts to change the whole administration of the committee so as to bring in rubberstamp administrators whom she can influence upon decisions of her bosses. Upon realization of this, the lord mayor of Kampala, Erias Lukwago quickly intervened to give Nsibambi an office so as to form a solid frontline of professionals against Ms Jenifer Musisi.

The Director of Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) ms Jenifer Musisi Semakula is a member of the ruling National Resistance Movement as well as a civil servant. As you may know the political hatred in Uganda amongst political parties is high, no one would expect that Ms Musisi would sit in a corner with the leaders of opposition Democratic Party and talk business.

But this happened. The president of DP Norbert Mao, Legal Advisor Mukasa Denis Fred Mbidde and DP secretary general Mathias Nsubuga on Tuesday met with Ms Musisi and they discussed issues concerning reconciliation and development of Kampala.

The meeting took place at City Hall building inKampala. Top on the agenda was to forge a good working relationship between Musisi and Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago. Lukwago did not attend the meeting because he is out of the country on official assignment. Ms Musisi told the DP squad that she has no personal vendetta with Lukwago. She explained that it’s Lukwago who seems to have a personal hatred on her. Mbidde says that after they have got the side of Musisi, they will also summon Lukwago to give them his views and after they try to reconcile the rivalKampalaleaders.

Also many people in the recent past have changed names. They include Gen. Salim Saleh.

Now we hear unconfirmed reports that the KCCA director has changed her name from Jenifer Musisi Semakula to ‘Jenifer Musisi Semakula ‘Mpawo Atalikaaba.’

When our reporter went to KCCA head offices to cross check the validity of this information Ms Musisi was in a closed door meeting.

However another source at KCCA told the reporter that it could be true that ms Jennifer Musisi is contemplating to change her name but she can’t change it to Jennifer “Mpawo-Atalikaaba.” The same source further told our news informer that it is the supporters of the Lord Mayor, Erias Lukwago who calls Ms Musisi ‘Jenifer Mpawo Atalikaaba.’

It seems the Uganda Taxi Operators and Drivers Association (UTODA) is not leaving the Old and New Taxi Parks as it was earlier anticipated following President Museveni’s directive to Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA).

It is said that the president on Tuesday sent a memo to the clerk to KCCA council and to the KCCA executive Director, Ms Jenifer Musisi indicating that the council should reorganize the transport system in Kampala between March and April and in May 2012 the powers to run the transport system should get back to UTODA.

The memo comes weeks after the chairperson of UTODA; Hajji Moses Katongole went to state house and pleaded with the president to save UTODA. According to sources in KCCA, Museveni advises that eliminating UTODA may cause more turmoil in the KCCA transport system.

Museveni reportedly advised that the tender to run buses and taxis should remain with KCCA but KCCA should hire an organisation such as UTODA to implement the contract.

Ms Musisi says that the request of the taxi drivers is unacceptable and whoever doesn’t want to pay 120,000 shillings should better leave the taxi business.

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.
