KCCA Councillors vote for withdraw of KCCA Amendment Bill

KCCA Councillors have unanimously resolved to have the KCCA Amendment Bill that had been sent to parliament a few months back by the Kampala Minister Madam Beti Namisango Kamya Torwomwe withdrawn.

The Councillors argued that; when this bill was first presented before Parliament by Kamya’s predecessor Frank Tumwebaze, the office of the Lord Mayor and the Authority Chambers had been closed in the botched impeachment, hence, there were no consultations with the apropos stakeholders.

Likewise, when Madam Kamya was re-tabling the same, she acted more or less like her predecessor. She did not consult anybody.

23 Lord Councilors supported the motion which was only opposed by the Leader of Opposition (LoP) Lord Councilor Bruhan Byaruhanga of Kyambogo. The Councillors requested her to respect the authority’s resolution

As the Law requires, the Executive Director will write to Minister attaching the authority resolution.

It was further resolved that a workshop be specifically organized to thoroughly interpret the 2010 KCCA Act for the lord councillors.

The Deputy Lord Mayor Hajat Sarah Kanyike and the Councilor representing Uganda Law Society were assigned duty to organise the workshop SCHEDULED in the second week of August, 2017.
