Jennifer-Musisi-Semakula, the Executive Director of Kampala City Authority

This is contained in a letter dated 1st July 2011 addressed to Musisi in response to a letter written by the divisional mayors to the solicitor general seeking legal interpretation over the matter.

On16th June 2011, the division mayors wrote to the solicitor general seeking a legal opinion on the role of Town clerk mayor and the management of sitting finances and budget.

It comes after Musisi presented a 101 billion shillings budget to the council drawing protest from the councillors and divisional mayors that said they were not involved in drawing the budgets estimates.

Harriet Rabi acting solicitor general says as per the fact that the Kampala Capital City Authority Act mandates the town clerks to present the division budget it does not give division financials autonomy.

Addressing a press conference at Parliament, Nsereko says that Jeniffer Musisi Ssemakula has not respected the elected leaders in the City, which has contributed to the chaos.

Nsereko has backed the Kampala lord Mayor’s decision of urging the taxi payers to stop paying the daily dues to UTODA, arguing that the contract of UTODA should be re-advertised.

He has also decried the phenomenon of seeking solutions to the problems from the President for every problem adding that this portrays a collapse in the institutions established under the decentralization process.

Nsereko has advised the Government to consider addressing the problems of the people before the situation goes out of hand, which may not be handled by the Government in case it spills out of control.

Nsereko has appealed to the tax drivers to report back to work tomorrow since their voice has been heard.

Jennifer-Musisi-Semakula, the Executive Director of Kampala City Authority

In a petition delivered to the Minister in charge of the Presidency, Kabakumba Masiko this afternoon, the councilors led by Kisenyi LC 3 chairman, Salim Uhuru, claim that their services as councilors are no longer relevant in the new setting of Kampala city as all the activities and services are centralized in the office of the Executive Director, Jennifer Musisi Semakula.

Uhuru explains that the actions of the Executive Director to run affairs alone contravene the decentralization system which was initiated by the government and service delivery cannot be implemented by one person.

He reveals that the councilors have resolved to walk to State House and meet the President, as well as mobilize the electorate in different parts of the city to boycott all council activities and abandon authority sittings until further notice.

The councilors have in recent weeks clashed with Ms. Musisi over wages, which they want increased; however the latter rejected their pleas.
