Because she was working so hard to get them through school, “I got inspiration from her”.

“I wanted to make her different struggles worthwhile; the sleepless nights, walking to various supermarkets with a huge basket of chicken and then going back to collect money for our fees. She served as deputy head prefect during her time at the mixed, boarding high school.

In 1982, she entered Makerere University, Uganda's oldest university, where she studied law.

Her contract was further renewed in April 2017, to run from 15 April 2017 until 14 April 2020.

However, on 15 October 2018, she tendered her resignation as KCCA Executive Director, effective 15 December 2018, citing inadequate funding and irreconcilable competing interests between the KCCA Technical Team and politicians that made it increasingly difficult to achieve the set transformational targets.

In her farewell speech, Musisi handed over 250 land titles belonging to KCCA, with 56 still being processed (total of 306 land title).

Currently, as the Bloomberg Harvard City Leadership Initiative City Leader in Residence, Jennifer Musisi advises on the design of Bloomberg Harvard programming with a particular emphasis on programming for cities outside of the United States.

As the Bloomberg Harvard City Leadership Initiative City Leader in Residence Jennifer Musisi plays a key role in contributing practitioner perspectives in the Bloomberg Harvard program, with a particular emphasis on programming for cities outside of the United States.

She serves as a resource for faculty, student, staff, and participating mayors and other city leaders, and shares insight and information on innovations, solutions, and approaches to common problems across cities.

I’m the good guy here. Musisi was involved in the Institutional Reforms and Restructuring Programme at URA.

In URA, Musisi was involved in Policy formulation, legislating amendments and policy implementation at the Executive and Board levels as well as Financial Planning and Management. It is just a blast being in my position.

She then joined King’s College Buddo in Wakiso District for her A-Level studies.

She graduated from Buddo in 1982, at the top of her class. Later, she obtained a Masters of Public Administration (MPA) from Makerere University. “They thought I was joking.”

The battles of who should collect tax took a legal direction where KCCA triumphed.

He had final authority, but she largely ignored him.

That impasse was never really resolved, although, with the new KCCA Act, the lord mayor’s role is what Musisi had always said, to wear the ceremonial robes and smile for the cameras.

And one battle she failed to win was the effort to get back Centenary Park, mainly due to the intervention of then trade minister, Amelia Kyambadde.

She makes me wake up very early, makes me work all day and forces me to do things I do not want to do.’ But I’m so glad now that the things she taught me made me what I am today.

She also taught me that if you are going to be a good leader, you should be able to do everything or at least understand what your subordinates do. He has made such a huge difference in my life.

Musisi perhaps likes spending more time with the people who matter.

It was launched to allow street vendors and others to sell their merchandise. Although Kyambadde would later apologize to Jennifer, the fate of Centenary Park remains in balance.

But in the end, it was politics that put paid to her efforts to make Kampala a real city. Her role as Commissioner Legal Services and Board Affairs involved working closely with the Commissioner General and the Senior Management Team, the Board of Directors and various stakeholders including Government Ministries, Tax Appeals Tribunal and personnel at the Uganda Judicial System.

In 2011, Musisi was appointed by the President of Uganda as the first Executive Director of the Kampala Capital City Authority and has been at the head of the transformation of the City Administration from a Local Government to a Corporate Entity under the Central Government.

But they were no match to Musisi, and they took blinked and went into oblivion. She attended Tororo Girls School in Tororo District for her O' Level education (S1 – S4). She then transferred to King's College Buddo in Wakiso District for the last two years of her high school education (S5 – S6). She graduated from Budo in 1982, at the top of her class.

She’s married to Frederick Musisi and together they have children. She trained at Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda as well as numerous other institutions including The George Washington University, Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School.

Musisi earlier worked for Makerere University as a Legal Adviser and was then appointed Commissioner Legal Services, and subsequently Commissioner Legal Services and Board Affairs in Uganda Revenue Authority.
