The Minister for the Presidency and Kampala, Frank Tumwebaze, says that it will be difficult to return the Lord Mayor in office without the involvement of Councillors in the purported talks between the opposition and government. He made the remarks during the Parliament’s sitting today chaired by the deputy speaker Jacob Oulanyah.
Minister Frank Tumwebaze’s assurance came after the Government Attorney General Fred Ruhindi, together with the Second Deputy Prime Minister Moses Ali confirmed to Parliament that negotiations were underway between government and the Opposition to return Lukwago in office. Tumwebaze told Parliament that KCCA conflicts are not between Government and the opposition but between the Lord Mayor and the Councillors who petitioned accusing him of incompetency.
The Deputy Speaker of Parliament Jacob Oulanyah has today, for the third time, refused to handle matters of KCCA and said that this issue will be handled by his head Rebecca Kadaga. Oulanyah further issued an ultimatum of one month between Government and the opposition to resolve the conflicts in KCCA.
