Medical Bill For Lord Mayor
Kampala Capital City Authority -KCCA Deputy Lord Mayor Doreen Nyanjura says it’s a shame that the lord mayor of an entire Capital City has to dig into his own pockets to cater for part of his medical bills.
Nanjura while addressing the nation on the state of the lord mayor Erias Lukwago said much as KCCA is catering for part of his medical bills at the Nairobi hospital where he is admitted the other half comes from his pocket.
Nanjura says it important that KCCA authorities plan for their leaders to get a full package of health insurance .
Nyanjura says KCCA needs to come up with a medical fund for the City Lord Mayor.
”So KCCA covers part of his treatment but for the other part he has to dig in his own pockets, so that is an issue that we are going to look into as leaders in the City because it is not fair that you can have a lord mayor and there is no medical fund, and as leaders, we need to plan for those that will even come after the current Lord Mayor.” she said
Meanwhile ,Nanjura has also dismissed rumours making rounds on social media that Lukwago is in critical condition and others pronouncing him dead She says Mayor Erias Lukwago is out of danger.

Lukwago was last seen in public earlier this month when he joined the faithful at Rubaga Cathedral to pray for the late Archbishop Dr. Cyprian Kizito Lwanga.
Lukwago got a panic attack and was helped out of the church by his aides who later rushed him to hospital.
He was again referred to Nairobi Hospital for further treatment and management due to intermittent dizziness among other things.
