Kampala, Uganda | Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) has intensified its efforts to enhance revenue collection and strengthen service delivery through the acquisition of 18 new vehicles worth UGX 2.4 billion.
The fleet, comprising 17 seven-seater wagons and one 14-seater van, was procured with funding from the Ministry of Finance, Planning, and Economic Development (MoFPED) and will be distributed across the Authority’s five city divisions.
According to KCCA, the new vehicles will improve field operations by enabling staff to reach more businesses, register new taxpayers, conduct assessments, and follow up on compliance, ensuring that all revenue due to the city is collected efficiently.
Speaking at City Hall, KCCA Executive Director Hajjat Sharifah Buzeki commended the Government of Uganda, under the leadership of President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, for the continued support towards urban transformation.
She said the gesture reflected government’s commitment to Kampala and underscored the city’s importance as Uganda’s business hub.
She further noted that KCCA was determined to utilise the resources efficiently to enhance revenue collection and improve service delivery.
KCCA reported a strong performance in the 2024/2025 Financial Year, having collected UGX 127 billion against a target of UGX 120 billion.
Buzeki stated that their focus extended beyond merely achieving revenue targets, emphasising that the Authority was working to make revenue collection more efficient, responsive, and impactful.
She added that every effort invested in mobilising resources represented an investment in the city’s future.
Out of the new fleet, ten vehicles will be allocated to the five divisions, two per division, while six vehicles and the 14-seater van will remain at City Hall to support property valuation and follow-up operations.
KCCA Director of Revenue Robert Nowere stressed the importance of mobility in effective revenue mobilisation.
He said that revenue collection relied heavily on field operations, and with the new vehicles, the Authority’s teams would be better equipped to conduct assessments, register new taxpayers, sensitise residents about their tax obligations, and ensure compliance across the city.
The Authority reiterated its commitment to transparency and accountability, stating that all collected revenue is remitted to the Consolidated Fund, which finances infrastructure and service delivery projects such as roads, drainage, sanitation, and urban development.
With the expanded fleet and renewed focus on field engagement, KCCA expressed optimism about not only meeting its revenue targets but also improving service delivery for Kampala residents.
Buzeki concluded that revenue remained the engine driving the city’s development, noting that improving mobilisation systems amounted to a direct investment in the future of Kampala and its people.
