KCCA Councillors Hold Special Sitting Over Electoral Concerns and 2027/2028 Budget Priorities

Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) councillors have convened for a special council sitting at City Hall to deliberate on pressing administrative matters, including concerns stemming from the recent general elections, the welfare of special interest groups, and the authority’s budget priorities for the 2027/2028 Financial Year.

Chaired by Deputy Speaker Olive Namazzi, the session at the Council Chambers brought together city leaders to tackle a robust agenda. Among the primary highlights is a petition directed at the Electoral Commission. This item allows councillors to table grievances regarding the electoral process and deliberate on appropriate channels to address them through recognized institutional frameworks.

In addition to electoral matters, the council focused heavily on the welfare and operational support of executive committees representing special interest groups. Officials underscored the vital role these representatives play within KCCA governance structures, noting that adequate support is essential for them to effectively serve their respective constituencies.

The agenda also featured the initial review of the Budget Framework Paper for the 2027/2028 Financial Year. These financial discussions remain crucial for Kampala as the city grapples with rising demands for upgraded infrastructure, improved waste management, better sanitation, and enhanced public service delivery.

Deputy Speaker Namazzi urged members to engage in constructive dialogue, emphasizing that the special sitting serves as a vital platform to address challenges affecting both the municipal leadership and the wider urban community. The outcomes of these deliberations are expected to shape upcoming policy directions and administrative decisions.
