Here’s Why Museveni Has Fired The KCCA Executive Director Dorothy Kisaka

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has dismissed Dorothy Kisaka from her role as the Executive Director of the Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA).
The sudden move has caught many by surprise, as Kisaka had been at the helm of KCCA since 2020, tasked with driving the transformation of Kampala into a modern, well-managed city.
One of the reasons is the perceived underperformance of KCCA in addressing some of the city’s long-standing challenges, including traffic congestion, waste management, and infrastructure development.
According to a report by government insiders argue that despite Kisaka’s efforts, Kampala continues to face significant issues that hinder its growth and modernization.Sources claims that she has had several unsolved internal disagreements with KCCA’s leadership and policy direction.
Reports indicate that tensions may have arisen between Kisaka and other senior government officials, leading to a breakdown in cooperation that ultimately influenced Museveni’s decision.
Some insiders claims that President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni may be seeking fresh leadership to re-energize the city’s administration and tackle the pressing concerns that have plagued the capital.
Kisaka’s tenure as KCCA ED had seen some progress, particularly in the areas of urban planning and service delivery. However, the pace of implementation and the scale of challenges in Kampala may have led to frustrations from the government and citizens alike, prompting this leadership change.
As President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni seeks to appoint a new KCCA Executive Director, attention will likely shift to how the incoming leadership will address Kampala’s numerous urban issues and whether the changes will lead to tangible improvements in the city’s management and development.
Dorothy Kisaka’s dismissal reveals President Museveni’s commitment to reshuffling key positions to meet his administration’s goals and deliver results to the Ugandan public.
