Speaker Among resolves KCCA laborers’ payment impasse
On Thursday last week at Parliament’s entrance, Speaker Among called a Monday, March 4, 2022, meeting with KCCA Executive Director Ms. Dorothy Kisaka.
Kampala: The Speaker of Parliament, Annet Among Anita, has, in a meeting with Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) leadership, resolved the year-long payment troubles of the city’s casual laborers.
The street sweepers, who are organized in SACCOs, have gone for four months without pay, prompting their peaceful protest in front of Parliament on Thursday last week.
Speaker Among announced in Monday’s meeting with KCCA leaders, including Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago, that payments are to be made to the sweepers’ SACCOs on Wednesday, March 6, 2024.
“Payment is going to be made tomorrow [and concluded there and then], not starting tomorrow; let us have these people paid; it looks ugly seeing them suffering; these are your mothers, wives, and sisters; it is not a good sight, seeing them troubled and pained,” she said.
After addressing the sweepers on Thursday last week at Parliament’s entrance, Speaker Among called a Monday, March 4, 2022, meeting with KCCA Executive Director Ms. Dorothy Kisaka.
