KCCA STRENGTHENS REVENUE MOBILISATION WITH NEW VEHICLE FLEET

Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) is stepping up efforts to boost revenue collection, a move set to strengthen service delivery and accelerate development across the city.

To enhance field operations, KCCA has procured 18 new vehicles, including 17, seven-seater wagons and a 14-seater van, across its five divisions. The fleet, was funded by the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development at a cost of UGX 2.4 billion

These vehicles will be deployed across the five city divisions to allow officers to reach more businesses, register new taxpayers, conduct assessments, and follow up on compliance, ensuring that every shilling owed to the city is collected efficiently.

Speaking at City Hall, KCCA Executive Director Hajjat Sharifah Buzeki hailed the Government of Uganda for its continued support, led by His Excellency President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni.

“This is a special day. It is an indication that government has Kampala at heart, and this support demonstrates our city’s key role as Uganda’s business hub. We are committed to using these resources to improve revenue collection and service delivery,” Buzeki said.

KCCA has already achieved remarkable results in revenue performance, having collected at least UGX 127 billion in 2024/2025 Financial year against a set target of UGX 120billion.

“Our commitment goes beyond meeting targets,” Hajjat Buzeki explained. “We are determined to make revenue collection efficient, responsive, and impactful. Every effort we make in mobilising resources is an investment in the city’s future.”

The new vehicles are expected to further strengthen the Authority’s capacity to reach businesses, traders, and residents across the city more efficiently.

“Ten of these vehicles will be sent to the divisions, with each division receiving two seven-seater wagons, while six and the 14-seater van will support field property valuation and follow-up exercises, at City Hall” Buzeki added.

The Director of Revenue, Robert Nowere, highlighted the critical role of mobility in enhancing revenue collection.

“Revenue is anchored on field activities. With these vehicles, our teams can conduct assessments, register new taxpayers, educate residents on their obligations, and ensure compliance across the city,” Nowere explained.

KCCA emphasises transparency, accountability, and fairness in revenue collection. Every shilling collected is remitted to the Consolidated Fund, funding projects that improve roads, drainage, sanitation, and urban development.

With these strengthened operations, KCCA is poised not only to meet revenue targets but also to deliver better services to all Kampala residents.

“Revenue is the engine that drives development,” Buzeki concluded. “By improving how we mobilise it, we are investing directly in the future of Kampala and its people.”
