A part from participatory leadership, she says they shall lead from the front and not from the back, do what they say and avoid duplicity and dishonesty. Also that they shall nurture as an organization, a strong culture to deliver quality services.
The new
Executive Director for Kampala Capital City Authority-KCCA, Dorothy Kisaka has committed to use
a participatory approach to nurture the stunning beauty of Kampala City.
She says the ideas will
not come from boardrooms at City Hall but through consultations with different
stakeholders of the city.
Amidst unending battles
between the political and technical leaders at the Authority over planning and
implementation, Kisaka committed to minimize interruptions to developments by
building bridges that promote peace across the many stake holders.
Kisaka says KCCA staff cannot work alone in beautifying the city and called upon the public and city leaders to join.
//Cue in: "We
cannot develop...
Cue out: ...citizens of
Uganda."//
Kisaka who takes over
management of KCCA from Eng. Andrew Kitaka says they will inculcate in them
seven areas of organizational culture for the effective execution of their
mandate.
A part from
participatory leadership, Kisaka says they shall nurture a strong culture to deliver quality services, shall lead from the front and not from
the back, do what they say and avoid duplicity and dishonesty.
She adds that they shall
fast track development of the city and achieve the goals set out in the development
plan.
//Cue in: "I thank
you...
Cue out: ...achieved
for Kampala."//
Kisaka also promised inclusive service delivery that recognizes Kampala’s diversity. She says they shall
ensure that all people are well catered for in basic amenities in both dwelling
and trading spaces.
Such a pronouncement comes at a time when Kampala continues to suffer from a housing and work space deficit especially involving low income earners. KCCA is always engaged in running battles with vendors operating on
the streets illegally.
Kisaka further committed to promote the rich inherited values of good neighborliness, hard work, shared
wealth, integrity and honest bequeathed by our ancestors to develop strong
communities of city dwellers.
"Both the inner
infrastructure of the person is as important as the outer infrastructure of the
city," says Kisaka.
//Cue in: "We
shall not..."
Cue out: "...to
this trust."//
Kisaka took oath at the
witness of the Head of Public Service Dr. John Mitala. Others who took oath are
Eng. David Luyimbazi who takes over from Sam Sserunkuma as Deputy Executive
Director and Grace Akullo who now succeeds Richard Lule as Director Human
Resource and Management.
