Sacked KCC employee sues Jennifer Musisi for recovery of his over 1bnshs unpaid terminal benefits

•The Highcourt in Kampala has summoned KCCA executive Director Jennifer Musisi, to respond to claims that she terminated a clerical officer of the authority without paying his emoluments amounting to 1.9billion shillings. Patrick Kisoke claims he was in 1990 employed as a clerical officer with the former KCC, until July 2012 when his services were terminated by KCCA on grounds that his office had been abolished by the new statute.

Kisoke however contends that his termination was irregular arguing that the letter sacking him was backdated to read that, the defunct KCC had retired him and therefore he is a stranger to KCCA. But he mantains his office still exists.

Now the Court's deputy Registrar, Sarah Langa has signed the summons giving Jennifer Musisi , KCCA and Attorney General 15days to file a defence.

THE BITTER, BETTER ON KENYA ELECTIONS

Tuesday 8, august 2017 was a big day in Kenya and indeed East Africa, as voters exercised their electoral democracy. Indeed, the whole of East Africa had its sights on Kenya, because the classical French saying, that:'when France sneezes, Europe catches a cold' does appeal to East Africa, for the latter is arguably East Africa's best Economy.

It would sound ideal that that is what every government anywhere is ought to do, but ask yourself how many governments, especially in Africa observe such 'political hygiene'. Therefore, there he deserves a credit. It is also common place in African politics, that s...

Why President Museveni and the NRM should reject the 45 years Amendment

By Katabarwa Ronald ronaldkatabarwa@gmail.com Record straight, I write this as an NRM supporter and leader at some level. Two weeks ago, news came in on how the NRM parliamentary Caucus was plotting yet another constitutional amendment to bar those below 45 years from running for President. We must first remind ourselves that this is the same Article that was amended in December, 2017, kicking out the 35 and 75 as age cap for the Presidency. I am opposed to this Amendment and my point of departure with the caucus, is informed by four areas. However, I will need guidance if I am wrong. We cannot amend the constitution out of panic. Such an amendment clearly shows that the NRM parliamentarians have started doing what they do best- panicking. President Museveni throughout the ages has been daring where nobody else dares. He has been Amending the Constitution towards bravery rather than cowardice. In 1971 while in Nairobi, John Kazoora(Uncle to maama J...
