The Executive Director of Kampala Capital City Authority Jennifer Musisi has said that the bureaucratic tendencies under the Procurement law are frustrating its operations aimed at making Kampala a better city.

She was responding to concerns that KCCA is doing little to solve the situation of big potholes and water logged ditches in the old taxi park.

Musisi says that the past regime at City hall had given out contracts to developers to build buildings in most of what makes up the Old Taxi park.

She also says that whereas the Authority has tried to execute its plans and programs of ensuring the city is kept clean and well managed, it is limited by the strict provisions of the Procurement law.

She said that the authority cannot easily access spare parts for the road maintenance equipments or buy the necessarily material to fix the potholes within a short period of time as many people would like.

Musisi also added that KCCA is facing a challenge of inadequate staff to efficiently execute its programs.
