President Museveni has appointed Frank Nyakaana Rusa as the acting executive director of Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA).
Rusa has been serving as KCCA legal director.
The appointment takes immediate effect.
“You are hereby assigned the duties of Executive Director. You will hold the post until a substantive office holder is appointed by the appointing authority,” a letter from the office of the president said on Thursday.
Rusa will be charged with submitting quarterly reports to the Head of Public Service and Secretary to the Cabinet, as well as the Minister in charge of KCCA.
The position fell vacant after the president fired Dorothy Kisaka and her deputy over the Kiteezi landfill tragedy that saw over 30 people killed.
