Kampala Lord Mayor Salongo Erias Lukwago has appointed Makindye East Councilor Sarah Kanyike as his deputy.
Lukwago announced his pick while presiding over his maiden Council sitting at City Hall Kampala on Thursday Morning.
Councilor Kanyike was serving in the previous term as the City Authority Council’s Speaker. She holds a bachelor’s degree in education from Makerere University.
Kanyike was seconded by Councilors Bruhan Byaruhanga(Kyambogo), Ssegirinya Muhamad (Kawempe), and Dawdi Lwanga (Kamwokya).
She was later endorsed by the Council and sworn in as the new Deputy Lord Mayor.
At the start of his short lived previous term, Lukwago appointed Sulaiman Kidandala to deputize him. He was later to fire him in 2014, accusing him of conniving with the Inspector General of Police to plot against him.
