The missives thrown between the minister of Kampala, Beti Kamya and KCCA executive director, Jennifer Ssemakula Musisi have gotten messier.
The most up-to-date being Ms. Kamya’s lethal attack on her adversary while speaking on CBS FM morning talk show, parliament yaffe, which is moderated by Meddie Nsereko; Kamya said Musisi has lost direction.
She said unlike some leaders in Kampala, Kamya added she is no longer looking for money for survival but she simply wants to serve the people.
“All my children have completed school. I also don’t want to buy a plane; so, my job and my life now is to work for the people of Kampala. I just need support and less politics for me to do my work,” she said.
On reports that 58 KCCA workers have been sacked ever since Musisi’s term was renewed less than a month ago, Kamya said, it can’t be that all of them are incompetent.
“Whenever there is a high staff turnover in an organization, just know there is a problem with management. The main role of a manager is to create a conducive/favourable working environment for your workers. That’s when you can get the best out of them,” Kamya said.
Kamya’s statements comes just days after the Executive Director, Jennifer Musisi wrote a letter to Parliament, the President and Division mayors saying she had not been informed about the amendments to the KCCA act that seek to clip powers of the Lord Mayor and other elected leaders.
The two powerful women have an ongoing fight for the control of political and executive power in Kampala.
