Abstract Although Yoweri Museveni’s National Resistance Movement (NRM) has dominated Uganda’s political scene for over three decades, the capital Kampala refuses to submit to the NRM’s grip. As opposition activism in the city has become increasingly explosive, the ruling elite has developed a widening range of strategies to try and win urban support and constrain opposition. In this paper, we subject the NRM’s strategies over the decade 2010-2020 to close scrutiny. We explore elite strategies pursued both from the ‘top down’, through legal and administrative manoeuvres and a ramping up of violent coercion, and from the ‘bottom up’, through attempts to build support among urban youth and infiltrate organisations in the urban informal transport sector. Although this evolving suite of strategies and tactics has met with some success in specific places and times, opposition has constantly resurfaced.

  • “Pressing the Right Buttons”
    0013EP “Pressing the Right Buttons” Jennifer Musisi for New City Leadership Epilogue ERIC WEINBERGER AND JORRIT DE JONG As head of the new Kampala Capital City Authority, Jennifer Musisi set her goals high: to increase revenue, fight corruption, and build the City’s financial capacity by creating a sustainable system of fee and tax collection, all while improving overall service delivery. She knew there would be serious resistance to change coming from populist politicians in both government and opposition (in Parliament, in Kampala, and in the KCCA). There would be intransigence from all directions: from her own officials, those in other agencies, powerful commercial forces including the many private collection agents now thrown out of business, and from hundreds of thousands of ordinary Kampalans who struggled to make a living, many of them as transit drivers, street vendors, or other kinds of traders, usually unregulated. Increasing Revenues Musisi’s success at improving collections in Kampala was practically immediate and continued for the first half of her nearly eight years in office. Over those four years, beginning with the 2011-12 fiscal year, overall own-source revenue (OSR) jumped 198 percent: KCCA own-source revenue (OSR) in billions of Ugandan shillings 2010-11 2011-12 2012-13 2013-14 2014-15 2015-16 2016-17 30 39.5 55.06 70.1 80.4 85 85.75 Between FY 2012 and FY 2014, property tax revenues rose from UGX 11 billion to UGX 24 billioni ($3.3 million to $7.2 million), and parking fees (now including taxis) rose from UGX 5 billion to UGX 16 billion ($1.5 million to $4.8 million).

He challenged the result of the election and sought a declaration that Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, the 1st Respondent, was not 10 validly elected and an order that the election be annulled. On the 31st March 2016, we delivered our decision in line with the Constitutional timeline imposed on the Court to render its judgment within 30 days from the date of filing the petition.

We found that the 1st Respondent was validly elected as President in accordance with Article 104 of the Constitution and Section 59 of the PEA. Accordingly, we unanimously dismissed the petition. We made no order as to costs. 20 We promised to give the detailed reasons at a later date, which we now give in this judgment.

  • Kcca (A) 1 Kampala City Authority
    KCCA (A) KAMPALA CITY AUTHORITY: THE TURNAROUND OF UGANDA’S CAPITAL (A) In April 2015 Mrs Jennifer Musisi, executive director of Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA), and in post since a new administrative structure replaced the defunct Kampala City Council in 2011, was absolutely confident on the capacity of the authority to deliver the second Kampala Institutional and Infrastructure Development Project. The so-called KIIDP2 was financed by the World Bank and over ninety percent of the funding aimed at modernizing transport and drainage infrastructure vital to transform Kampala into a modern city. It followed a previous scheme, KIIDP1, oriented mostly towards building internal institutional capacity, and which Jennifer’s team had rescued from the brink of collapse in 2011. We’re in an effort to transform Kampala. To take it from where we found it - deplorable, disorganised, a total mess, to a place where it would be a capital city in the real sense of the word…. I’m here to do a serious job, don’t involve me in politics …We want to make it [Kampala] a destination [KCCA Executive Director]1 KCCA was the governing body created to administer Kampala on behalf of central government by an Act of Parliament in 20102 which became effective on 1st March 2011. It was part of wider government reforms to decentralise administration in a bid to “bring services closer to the people”. In the case of Kampala, the administrative reform also responded to a failure of the previous administration to deliver a program of capital investment and institutional reforms agreed with the Word Bank in 2007.

  • “Pressing the Right Buttons”
    0013TC “Pressing the Right Buttons” Jennifer Musisi for New City Leadership ERIC WEINBERGER AND JORRIT DE JONG “2011/12 was fast becoming the most tumultuous year in Kampala, with riots following every change in the City, but the team was resolute, and the public soon realized that.” - Jennifer Musisi, executive director of the Kampala Capital City Authority, 2011-2018 Musisi’s Dilemma It had been quite a first year in office for Jennifer Musisi. In April 2011, she took up her post as first- ever executive director of the Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA), replacing the old Kampala City Council (KCC) that administered Uganda’s capital. She had immediately plunged into one conflict after another—against corrupt officials, politicians and contractors; against large, unruly forces like transit drivers and street vendors—that led to her fending off threats of strikes and even violence. She had also, literally, begun cleaning up the City by filling potholes, hauling off more trash than ever before, installing streetlights, and improving roads. But getting down to work always went hand-in-hand with strife. As the new year turned, barely eight months into the job, she had two lawsuits against her awaiting a court ruling—one from her own KCCA colleague, the Lord Mayor of Kampala, Erias Lukwago. That first year, Musisi and her tight-knit management team were working between fifteen and twenty hours a day; it could seem as if all they had time for was the day-to-day. But longer-term thinking was necessary, and always came back to revenues. Old-fashioned tax records and practices based on paper, cash, and private collection agents weren’t just a hindrance; they ensured that income from taxes and fees was much lower than it should have been, and certainly too low to run a modern city and provide services.

  • The “Garbage Lady” Cleans up Kampala Turning Quick Wins Into Lasting Change
    0026TC The “Garbage Lady” Cleans Up Kampala Turning Quick Wins into Lasting Change LISA C. COX AND JORRIT DE JONG Judith Tukahirwa Tumusiime, PhD, a self-described technocrat, had run out of moves. In more than four years of heading solid waste management (SWM), among other responsibilities in the City of Kampala, Uganda, she had built a reputation as someone who could inspire her team to “do more with less” and “do something with nothing.” But by late 2015, her ability to squeeze more efficiencies out of her staff and equipment had reached its limits. In Tumusiime’s mind, there was no denying it: the Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA)’s SWM system was not only stalled, it was not sustainable. Tumusiime had proved her effectiveness early on. In 2011, she began working as an unpaid consultant for the newly forming KCCA, and by March of 2012, many had already noticed a difference: one newspaper reported that the KCCA had made “tremendous achievements in garbage collection and fighting littering in the city that has for some time been ranked the dirtiest capital in East and Central Africa.”1 Before Tumusiime’s tenure, residents saw the garbage heaps piled around the City as permanent fixtures. Mounds of uncollected waste mixed with sewage during rainy season floods and caused public health crises. With an urbanization rate in Uganda of over 5 percent, trash generation would only grow.2 The backlog of uncollected trash was especially pronounced in the City’s poorest neighborhoods, where nearly three-quarters of Kampala’s residents lived in informal settlements.3 These areas were prone to flooding and lacked roads, making access for trash removal difficult and expensive.
