Audit Exposes Rot At Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA)

Irregularities in recruitment and operations at the Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) have been exposed by a statutory internal audit report.

Among the findings of the audit are that while the Authority provides for 192 law enforcement officers, the number totalled 234 in October 2018. With salary provisions for officers of Shs550,000 per month the discrepancy suggest that an extra Shs23,100,000 may be paid irregularly. 

It also found that some offenders arrested were not reflected in the charges register, as well as irregularities with confiscated and impounded items. Whereas 345 cases were recorded in law enforcement reports in December 17, only 248 cases were recorded in the charge office register for prosecution.
