Frank Nyakaana Rusa Appointed Acting KCCA Executive Director

The Office of the President has announced lawyer Frank Nyakaana Rusa as the interim Executive Director (ED) of Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) following the dismissal of Dorothy Kisaka.

The Authority’s legal director was announced alongside two other temporary appointees assigned in place of dismissed KCCA deputy ED Engineer David Luyimbazi and KCCA director of Public Health Dr Daniel Okello.

KCCA’s director for revenue collection Robert Nowera is assigned the duties of Luyimbazi while acting Deputy Director for Public Health Sarah Zalwango Karen takes over the roles of Dr Okello.

The assignments, which take immediate effect, will see the appointees hold positions until the Appointing Authority names substantive office holders, the presidency said on Thursday.

“The appointment is subject to the constitution of Uganda,” reads a September 25 letter signed off by Deputy Head of Public Service Deborah Katuramu, received by the office of the city mayor on September 26.

Four-year KCCA boss Kisaka, Luyimbazi and Okello were axed following a probe by the Ombudsman, which faulted the trio for negligence leading to the August 10 Kiteezi landfill garbage collapse that left 35 dead.

The Appointing Authority is expected to announce substantive appointments by the end of 2024.
