Staff Protest Extravagant Spending As New KCCA Executive Director Throws Away Kisaka-Era Office Furniture, Replacing It With New One – Ultimate News

The acting KCCA executive director Frank Russa Nyakana has started on high note by literally cleansing the ED office where his predecessor Dorothy Kisaka used to sit on the 1st floor of city hall.

Russa was never on good terms with Kisaka because of rumours that he was being favored and prepared by certain powerful people in the country to take over from her.

On the first day, Russa got rid of the office staff who were working for Kisaka and brought in his own team led by Prossy Nakate. She’s is already determined to cause change and turn everything upside down inside the ED office.

Sources say that even the throwing away of furniture which was still new in the ED’s office, was advised by Nakate who wants to revenge on workmates like Annet Akom who have been mistreating her under Kisaka and Luyimbazi.

Some KCCA workers are now described as orphaned or widowed because of the exit of the three top bosses who were their protectors and guarantors.

KCCA workers are scared that Nakate, who has a lot of influence on Russa because she has been his chief of staff in the directorate of legal, is going to make sure those who didn’t treat her well in the past like Akom the supervisor suffer terrible revenge.

This same situation happened during the days of Andrew Kitaka who was promoted to become acting ED after Musisi left. Kitaka had been director engineering and Nakate came along as his chief of staff. Russa now is busy in the field with waste management, leaving Nakate to run the show in the ED office.

Those Kitaka days female KCCA engineers suffered a lot because Nakate was always protecting Kitaka from seeing them yet had official matters to discuss. Kitaka’s own wife doctor Sabrina had to intervene for the shield Nakate had put around Eng Kitaka to be relaxed.

Time came when enemies came together and reported to public service commission that Nakate wasn’t even qualified to be the chief of staff in the director’s office because she didn’t study administration at the university but library studies.

Public service directed Musisi to transfer her to the library or fire her totally. When she was transferred, Nakate refused to sit in the library and started working from her car in the parking and this went on for months.

When Musisi left KCCA and Kitaka was made acting ED, Nakate became powerful again and continued blocking female KCCA engineers from meeting Kitaka to discuss work related matters. This caused trouble and some of the mistakes Kitaka made are blamed on the bad advice he kept getting from Nakate.

She is now back very powerful under Russa and staff fear that Russa is going to be led into making mistakes, starting with the unnecessary purchase of furniture to replace the one for Kisaka which was still new and excellent.

When public service became tough and stuck to their guns that she gets fired from KCCA for insubordination and lack of qualifications to serve as an administrative staff, Nakate (who lives in Mbuya and one time clashed with physical planning director Anita Kwarisima) blackmailed them by exposing the fact that there are many other KCCA workers at city hall who similarly didn’t have qualifications for the jobs they were holding.

Administrative officer Brenda Tusubira was given as an example and public service reversed its appointment and removed her from her position because of pressure from Nakate. The public service bosses then backed off and left Nakate to do her job.

When he was the director human resource at KCCA even Lule used to fear Nakate because he knew she was powerful especially under Kitaka and nobody fought her and didn’t end badly.

Workers inside city hall are now scared that with Nakate heading the administration in the ED’s office, it’s going to be very hard to access Russa. She has created a strong relationship with him exactly like was the case under Kitaka who was blocked from good advice and information from other managers at KCCA.
