Top Story! KCCA Awards Frank Nyakana Rusa for Exemplary Service during reign as Acting ED

Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) Council has officially awarded Frank Nyakana Rusa with a prestigious Appreciation Award in recognition of his distinguished service while he was serving as Acting Executive Director.

The council applauded Rusa’s leadership, professionalism, and commitment during his interim tenure at the helm of the Authority, particularly at a time when the city was grappling with critical infrastructure challenges.

The award, visibly inscribed with the message “We appreciate your noble service for the capital city (Kampala) as acting E.D.” was handed over by the Council of the Authority in a rare gesture of unity and appreciation for technocratic service.

The honour reflects widespread recognition of Rusa’s effective stewardship during his time in office between September and December 2024, following the dismissal of Dorothy Kisaka.

During his short stint, Rusa is credited for overseeing major developments, including the successful supervision of flood control works in the Nakivubo area—an initiative that significantly reduced waterlogging in the usually flood-prone zone during the March 2025 rains.

These achievements, among others, elevated his standing within the institution and earned him cross-party acclaim.

Photographed holding the award in his office, flanked by the national and KCCA flags, Rusa struck a composed and humble figure—representative of a technocrat whose quiet yet effective contributions have not gone unnoticed.

While the ceremony was largely celebratory, the award presentation came in the wake of a tense council session on April 3, 2025, where Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago’s allegations against Rusa and city investor Dr. Hajji Hamis Kiggundu were categorically dismissed. The council unanimously found the claims baseless and politically charged, reinforcing Rusa’s vindication. The magistrate court had earlier dropped the case in January, citing procedural irregularities.

As KCCA sets its sights on new public-private partnerships to tackle Kampala’s drainage woes, the council’s endorsement of Rusa’s leadership may signal a broader institutional shift toward pragmatic, development-oriented administration—free from the weight of political wrangles.
