KCCA Executive Director Jennifer Musisi has resigned, Uganda Mirror reports.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is to submit my resignation from the position of Executive Director, Kampala Capital City Authority with effect from 15′ December 2018,\u201d reads Jennifer Musisi\u2019s resignation letter dated 15th October 2018.<\/p>\n
Musisi pointed out several reasons for her resignation and she stated that;<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the main challenges has been to reconcile the competing interests between political perspectives \/ decisions and the strategic plans, policies, regulations and work plans of the KCCA Technical Team. Consequently, it has increasingly become difficult to achieve set targets.<\/p>\n
\u201cKCCA is unable to fully meet the Government and Public expectations in City Development Programmes and service delivery demands due to inadequate funding.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe currently have inadequate permanent staff on account of budget limitations. resulting in prolonged temporary terms of service and job insecurity. This has led to demotivation and high turnover of highly skilled staff. In addition, staff are not adequately facilitated in terms of tools. equipment and vehicles.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is inadequate political support to the efforts of the KCCA Technical Team to transform Kampala. Many planned City improvement plans have not received political support and therefore not been implemented,\u201d<\/p>\n
She further stated that;<\/p>\n
\u201cUganda makes heavy investments in educating, training and employing professionals.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor the Nation to fully benefit from this investment, professionals need to be allowed and supported to advise, develop and implement innovative<\/p>\n
solutions to the challenges we still face as a developing Nation.<\/p>\n
\u201cKCCA has developed a very competent, professional team that needs to be supported to continue the journey we started.<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe that the visible transformation of Kampala over the last seven and half years is evidence that Ugandan institutions can be transformed by Ugandans.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe same transformation template if adopted and supported, can be rolled out to other institutions that are in need of institutional transformation and improved performance.\u201d<\/p>\n
Musisi also said that during her 7years tenure as KCCA head, they made progress and improvements in the city.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour Excellency, over the last seven and half years, we have made progress towards transforming Kampala.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
