Reports emerging from Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) suggest unusual developments involving the current Lord Mayor, Ronald Balimwezo, who is alleged to have declined to use official vehicles and certain office facilities assigned to his position.
According to the reports, Balimwezo has reportedly refused to use a recently acquired official Land Cruiser that was intended for the Lord Mayor’s office.
Instead, it is alleged that he prefers to use an older black Land Cruiser, which he considers more suitable for his personal preference.
Sources further claim that this decision came after what was described as spiritual guidance from a yet-to-be-identified advisor.
The reports also suggest that Balimwezo chose not to use the official Lord Mayor’s chair that was previously used in the office.
It is alleged that a new chair was later procured after he declined to sit in the existing one.
Further claims indicate that he made additional changes within the office environment, including adjustments to the internal setup and arrangements.
Some accounts suggest that he has modified how visitors access his office, preferring a more direct interaction approach without multiple layers of administrative screening.
However, these reports also include more sensitive and unverified claims relating to personal beliefs and experiences within the office.
It is alleged that the Lord Mayor cited past unsettling experiences in the office as part of the reason for increasing the presence of assistants around him.
These claims have not been independently verified by official KCCA communications or city authorities.
The reports further suggest that he prefers having close aides present at all times during official work hours for added comfort and support.
In a related claim, it is alleged that even his deputy, Faridah Nakazibwe, has taken additional personal precautions before accessing office spaces.
However, there is no official confirmation from KCCA regarding any spiritual consultations or alterations linked to the reported changes.
Observers note that leadership transitions at KCCA often come with changes in office management, protocols, and administrative preferences.
Such changes can sometimes be interpreted differently depending on the source and level of verification.
At the same time, KCCA has not issued any formal statement confirming the specific claims circulating in the reports.
Public attention around the Lord Mayor’s office remains high, especially given the political importance of Kampala’s leadership structure.
As a result, these reports are likely to continue attracting discussion until clarified by official sources from KCCA or the city leadership itself.
