Earlier, Members of Parliament who had entered the authority who include Kawempe South MP Ssebuliba Mutumba, Kawempe North MP Latif Ssebagala and Rubaga South MP John Ken Lukyamuzi were thrown out of the authority by police.
The team in control is led by led by James Ruhweza, the Kampala District Police Commander.
Lukwago’s impeachment comes after the KCCA Tribunal chaired by Justice Catherine Bamugemereire found him guilty of incompetence, abuse of office and misconduct hence giving a green light to his impeachment.
The formation of the Tribunal was after over 20 councillors petitioned the Minister in charge of Kampala Frank Tumwebaze seeking the impeachment of Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago.
Today up to 29 councillors voted to oust him. Only three voted against the move.
