In a bid to steer Uganda’s capital through a maze of chronic urban challenges, Kampala Lord Mayor Ronald Nsubuga Balimwezo has unveiled a fresh executive team for the Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) council, calling an end to political bickering and demanding a fierce focus on service delivery.
The high-stakes appointments were announced Monday during a packed council sitting at City Hall. Rubaga II councillor Faridah Nakabugo was named the new Deputy Lord Mayor. In addition to her high-profile deputy role, Nakabugo will anchor the administration as the Executive Secretary for Human Resource and Administration.
A fresh cabinet takes shape
The newly minted executive committee represents a strategic reshuffle aimed at tackling Kampala's most paralyzing structural issues.
The other key appointments include: Shamim Nambasa who is the executive Secretary for Finance; Godfrey Luyombya (Nakawa II) who is the executive secretary for Physical Planning and Works and Dr Judith Nalukwago (Makindye III) who was named the Executive Secretary for Social Services.
Addressing journalists immediately after the swearing-in ceremony, Lord Mayor Balimwezo struck a pragmatic tone, emphasizing that the city's salvation lies in seamless cooperation between political leaders, technical teams, and ordinary citizens.
“We must work together if we want to improve service delivery in Kampala. The people who elected us expect action, not endless political disagreements,” Balimwezo warned. “The elections are over. This is now the time for service delivery and practical solutions for Kampala residents.”
