The Shadow minister for Kampala Capital City Authority Betty Nambooze has cautioned the Authority’s Executive Director Jennifer Musisi over what Nambooze terms as illegal awarding of the contracts going on.

Nambooze said although currently there is no legal contracts committee under which the City Authority is mandated to award contracts, so far 49 contracts have been issued out under Musisi’s supervision.

According to Nambooze, some of the contracts are awarded outside the law without following the legal procedures

She citied that Desan Services limited company that was contracted to manage the wastage of medical substances from the Authority’s Health Units in June yet an advert inviting the bids for the same contract was just published in The Observer of Thursday August 11 2011.

Nambooze further warned Musisi over the lavish and exorbitant expenditure in her operations since she assumed office as the executive Director

Nambooze said so far the authority has spent 30 million shillings on photocopying of official documents, 45 million shillings for procurement of brooms for cleaning the city, 355 million shillings on development of a strategic plan to Control HIV/AIDS at KCCA among other unrealistic expenses.
