Uganda Police Force (UPF) has confirmed the arrest and detention of former Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) bosses. Dorothy Kisaka, David Luyimbazi and Dr Daniel Okello were arrested on Octover 16, 2024.

“As we communicated on Monday, October 14, 2024, that we had summoned former KCCA Executive Director Dorothy Kisaka, former Deputy Executive Director David Luyimbazi, and former Director of Public Health and Environment, Dr Daniel Okello,” noted Rusoke.

“The above have appeared at the the Criminal Investigations Directorate of the Uganda Police Force headquarters today, October 16, 2024 and engaged with our team. Arising from the ongoing prosecution-led investigation, the three former officials of KCCA have been detained and will be arraigned before courts of law.”
