In a recent political shake-up, Dorothy Kisaka ‘s sudden removal from her role as Executive Director of the Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) has sparked widespread speculation. Investigative journalist Solomon Sserwanjja has shared his perspective on this unfolding situation.
Sserwanjja pointed out that President Yoweri Museveni’s actions are typically driven by logic rather than emotion, suggesting that Kisaka’s dismissal was likely the result of a complex interplay of factors.
He highlighted longstanding issues within KCCA, such as the challenges at Kiteezi Landfill, which have plagued the city for years.
While the public may view Kisaka’s removal as sudden, Sserwanjja emphasized that underlying issues have been brewing behind the scenes.
He underscored KCCA’s historical struggles with waste management, particularly at Kiteezi, cautioning that the reasons for Kisaka’s dismissal likely extend beyond surface-level problems.
A leadership legacy marred by obstacles
During her tenure, Dorothy Kisaka implemented reforms to enhance service delivery in Kampala. Despite her efforts, KCCA faced criticism for its handling of crucial urban issues like waste management and traffic congestion.
Analysts believe that her dismissal reflects broader discontent with KCCA’s performance under her leadership
As Ugandans contemplate the implications of Kisaka’s exit, questions linger about the future direction of KCCA and the underlying motives behind her dismissal. The uncertainty surrounding this event continues to fuel speculation and debate among the public.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
