Musisi, whose resignation hasn't been accepted by President Kaguta Museveni, handed her office documents to Kampala Minister Beti Kamya in absentia of her successor -- who is yet to be appointed.

"The president has not yet accepted Jennifer's resignation or appointed a replacement for her. I receive this office awaiting further instructors and guidance from him.

"As we wait for communication from the president. I want to assure the staff of KCCA and country that they'll be no gap in the delivery of services in Kampala and work will continue smoothly," Kamya said.

The KCCA ED is not an elective position -- the president makes the appointment. The president had renewed her contract in 2017 which was supposed to expire on April 14, 2020.

Musisi issued a notice of resignation detailed in a 21-page letter in October.

She highlighted a number of challenges, including 'unceasing bickering between the political and technical wing of KCCA'.
