KCCA staff fail questions about the affairs of the city

By Drone Writer

Kampala City Council Authority (KCCA) celebrated ‘Dear Week’ on Friday, March 13th, 2020. The Dear Week is the climax of the reading and learning for success, a culture the city authority is inculcating into young children so that they can grow with it.

In order to instill that reading culture into children, the city authority spent a whole week moving in the KCCA aided schools, presiding and enforcing this reading culture.

The top brass of the city authority including the Lord Mayor, Executive Director, Speaker and Deputy Speaker and the Chairperson of the Education Service Commission, all presided over the reading sessions in the KCCA aided schools.

This was climaxed on Friday in the Mayor’s House at KCCA Headquarters, where five primary schools presented breath-catching poems that portrayed the importance of reading.

Among the items on the programme of the celebrations, was inter Departmental Quiz.

Surprisingly, three departments out of eight, got 0%; they failed questions about the affairs of the city. The departments which failed included Physical planning; Gender and Treasury Services.

One of the departments was asked, “KCCA has developed non-motorised lane roads, which roads are these and how many kilometres do they cover?” Their answer was Anganzi!

Yet, the answer was Bakuli-Namirembe-Luwum Street to Entebbe Road and it covers 1.9 kilometres.

Another amazing question was about health centres that are managed by KCCA. The staff could not name all the four health centres of the city. The legal Affairs Department with beautiful babes, passed one question and failed the other important one.

The beautiful legal officers could not tell the work of Education Service Commission. They were told the commission appoints, confirms, discipline among others. Yet, at the beginning of the function, the staff were told that knowledge is power, if you have it you are powerful. Now that they are not knowledgeable, they are powerless.
