Kalumba, a seasoned communications expert, will head the authority’s communications department, with Ibrahim Bbosa serving as his deputy.
Kalumba brings a wealth of experience to his new role, having previously worked as a journalist and columnist at Daily Monitor and as a publicist for the Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA).
