{UAH} KCC TRIBUNAL IMPLICATES LORD MAYOR LUKWAGO

 

The long awaited report of the Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) tribunal investigating abuse of office by the authority's Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago has been released with damning conclusion for the mayor.

The verdict: KCCA Mayor Erias Lukwago is guilty of misconduct, abuse of office and incompetence.

The report was released on Thursday morning by Minister in Charge of Kampala Hon Frank Tumwebaze.

Tumwebaze explained that the release of the report was delayed because "they couldn't finish all the work"

"They (tribunal) did not want to have By excuses so they requested me for more time" Tumwebaze added.

The fate of the Mayor now lies in the hands of the authority's Councillors who can according to the minister can choose to "forgive him".

However, pundits privy to the nitty gritty of Kampala's politics argue that this is unlikely considering the fact most of the Councillors subscribe to the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) which according to the Mayor has a secret plan to take over the city.

The minister is expected to meet the Councillors in a fortnight and its in this meeting that a conclusion will be made to the findings of the report.
