Councilors at the Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) on Monday unanimously agreed to give part of the functions off KCCA to the Urban Divisional Councils.
During a council meeting presided over by the Lord Mayor, Erias Lukwago ,the Chairperson of the Legal Affairs, Bruhan Byaruhanga presented a report to the council seeking a resolution of the authority to devolve some of the functions to the divisional councils.
Although some of the Councilors mainly from the opposition were not in support of the proposal, thinking that they will also be left without any duties to perform but they later hided to the request of the divisional mayors who had earlier walked out of the council in protest.
Lukwago has now directed the committee on Legal Affairs to meet with all the divisional mayors by the end of today to agree on the modalities on how they will consult the central government through the Kampala minister and agree on the way forward how the local councils can be funded and deliver services to the people.
