CITY HALL – KAMPALA
DOROTHY Kisaka, sacked Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) Executive Director has revealed how she served under challenging circumstances calling upon her successor Frank Rusa Nyakana to watch out and trust in God!
Although in her handover Speech Madam Kisaka says has left City Hall with a heart of gratitude, and gives glory to God, without mincing words, she noted that, “My assignment at KCCA is done. We have made a contribution to the best of our abilities under challenging circumstances.”
However in her short Speech, while handingover office, Kisaka has not revealed what were the challenges under which she served to the extent of being fired by the appointing authority.

On Tuesday, this week, President Museveni sacked Kisaka alongside her deputy Eng. David Luyimbazi and Director in charge of Public Health Okello over criminal negligence and sleeping on duty causing death of over 38 people due to land slide in Kitezi .
The Head of State directed that the fired KCCA bosses be investigated and that the Kampala Minister get their replacement in Acting capacities.
