President Museveni has appointed Hajjat Sharifah Buzeki as the new Executive Director of Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA).
She replaces Frank Rusa who has been serving in acting capacity.
She will be deputised by Benon Kigenyi.
“It’s true that His Excellency Kaguta Museveni has appointed a new Executive Director of KCCA in the names of Hajat Sharifah Buzeki, and Mr. Benon Kigenyi as her Deputy,” said Faruk Kirunda, Deputy Press Secretary on X.
He said their names have been forwarded to Public Service for formalisation.
“When the process is completed, the Head Public Service/Secretary to Cabinet will formally confirm the appointments. Congratulations to Hajat Buzeki and Mr. Kigenyi for catching the eye of the Appointing Authority.”
Buzeki becomes the third woman to lead KCCA after Dorothy Kisaka and Jennifer Musisi.

A Commissioner for Human Resource Management in the Ministry of Public Service, Buzeki holds a Master’s Degree in Public Administration and Management, a Post Graduate Diploma in Human Management, a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Sciences obtained from Islamic University in Uganda.
Her deputy Kigenyi has served as the Undersecretary at the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development.
