Dorothy Kisaka has on Thursday taken oath as the Kampala Capital City Authority-KCCA Executive director.
Kisaka replaces Eng. Andrew Kitaka who has been acting executive director since Jennifer Musisi resignation in 2018.
The two oaths which include the oath of secrecy and that of KCCA executive director were administered by the Head of Public Service and Secretary to the Cabinet John Mitala in the presence of the Minister of Kampala Betty Amongi, the Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago and KCCA councilors.
Others who took oath included Eng. David Lule Luyimbazi who replaces Sam Serunkuma as Deputy Executive Director KCCA and Grace Akullo as the Director Human Resource and Management.
Last week, President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni confirmed the appointment of Ms Kisaka as KCCA head.
This was according to a letter addressed to the Minister of Public Service, by the chairman of the Public Service Commission Justice Ralph Ochan. In the letter, dated July 21, 2020, Justice Ochan also confirmed the appointment Eng Luyimbazi Ssali as the Deputy Director and Akullo as the Director of Human Resource and Management.
By the copy of the letter, Justice Ochan says the Secretary Public Service is required to urgently forward the copy of the instrument to the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Public Service for her tail end management of the appointment process.
