President Museveni has extended the contract for Eng. Andrew Kitaka to serve as acting Executive Director for Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) for six more months.

In a January 10 letter by the Ministry of Public Service Permanent Secretary, Catherine Birakwate informed Kitaka of the extension of his contract.

“”It’s my greatest honor to serve the city and country. I do not underestimate the task and challenges ahead but I do feel encouraged and hopeful about the progress we can collectively register for our city. I thank his excellency, the president for this opportunity to serve you,”Kitaka posted on his social media accounts.
