      Lord Mayor of Kampala GudangMovies21 Rebahinxxi LK21

      The Lord Mayor of Kampala City (Swahili: Bwana Meya wa Kampala) is the honorary title of the chairperson of Kampala Capital City Authority which is the local government body for the city of Kampala, the capital of the Republic of Uganda. The incumbent, since 2011, is councilor Erias Lukwago.


      History



      The office of Mayor of Kampala was created in 1950 by the government of the Protectorate of Uganda, and headed the Kampala City Council. In 1998, the mayor was elected directly for the first time. The office of Mayor was elevated to Lord Mayor in 2011 by the newly established Kampala Capital City Authority. Its role was reduced to a ceremonial one, with powers being transferred to the executive director, appointed by the President of Uganda, and the Minister for Kampala in the Cabinet.


      Functions


      The office is largely symbolic and its responsibilities consist of chairing meetings of the city council and representing the city at public events. The Deputy Lord Mayor assists the Lord Mayor in the performance of his or her functions and otherwise deputise for the Lord Mayor in his or her absence.
