The CEC is established under the Kampala Capital City Authority Act, 2019, and functions as the political and executive arm of the city.
Its mandate includes initiating policies, overseeing the implementation of council decisions, and supervising service delivery across Kampala. The committee also prepares and presents the annual city budget, supports the Lord Mayor in executing his duties, and formulates development strategies for the capital.
In addition, the CEC monitors sector performance and ensures that council resolutions are implemented by the authority’s technical and administrative teams.
