MPs sitting on the COSASE have demanded for specific roads being worked or upgraded by KCCA.
This was after KCCA Director of engineering and Technical services Justus Akankwasa informed the committee that KCCA has done 70% of works on patching portholes, and repairing of some roads using the authorities budget financial year of 24.9bn shs which the MPs seemed doubting.
He says the remaining 30% delayed works was due to the rainny season but assured the committee that by the coming weeks contractors will be back to work.
MPs also raised concern of fear by KCCA failing to spend the balances of the released 24.9bn on their account yet the financial year is soon ending and the money may be redebted to the consolidated fund.
However in response the ED KCCA Dorothy Kisaka asked for more time to gather the documents about the specific roads worked on which the chairperson Joel Ssenyonyo granted until the end of today.
The management of the Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) has announced that they have successfully patched up 70 per cent of the potholes in the city. Dorothy Kisaka, the Executive Director of KCCA, clarified that the focus was primarily on addressing potholes that required patching, rather than undertaking sectional repairs or comprehensive revamping. However, this assertion has sparked significant disagreement among members of the Parliamentary Committee on Commissions, Statutory Authorities, and State Enterprises according to NTV Uganda.
