Engineer Andrew Kitaka has resigned from Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA), just months after handing over the office of the executive director to Dorothy Kisaka.
Today Saturday, October 31 marks the end of Kitaka's nine-year journey at KCCA where he served as director engineering and technical services from November 1, 2011.
Kitaka was in December 2018 appointed KCCA acting executive director following the resignation of Jennifer Musisi. Musisi, who'd been at the helm of KCCA since its formation resigned from office to take up an assignment as the first city leader in residence at Bloomberg Harvard City Leadership Initiative.
The initiative is a collaboration between Harvard Kennedy School, Harvard Business School, and Bloomberg Philanthropies. Kitaka served as KCCA acting executive director until June 2020 when the president appointment Kisaka as the substantive head of KCCA.
President Yoweri Museveni's move to appoint Kisaka was perceived as a vote of no confidence in Kitaka. He then returned to his office as the director of engineering and technical services.
While handing over office in July, Kitaka said over 40 per cent of KCCA staff were running on temporary contracts while at least three directorates were occupied by directors in acting capacities. Kitaka said the fact that many employees were serving in acting capacities was likely to demotivate workers at KCCA.
