This study examined corporate governance practices and their effect on performance of KCCA, using a case study of Nakawa and Rubaga divisions. Specifically, the study examined the effect of governance structures, corporate reporting and accountability on organisational performance of Nakawa and Rubaga divisions. The study adopted a case study research design and a mixed research approach. A sample size of 120 respondents was selected from a study population of 170 using solvene formula. Descriptive statistics were analysed using mean and standard deviation and Pearson correlation coefficient and regression analysis were used for inferential statistics. The study findings revealed: a significant positive relationship between governance structures and perfomance (r = 0.514, P = 0.000); a significant positive relationship between corporate reporting and performance (r =0.572, p = 0.000); and a significant positive relationship between accountability and performance of Nakawa and Rubaga divisions (r =0.579, p = 0.000). The study concluded that governance structures, corporate reporting and accountability as corporate governance practices significantly contribute to perfofmance of KCCA in that a positive change in any of the varibales would lead to a positive change in performance. The study recommended that: KCCA should institute robust governance structures that seek to provide clear separation of powers and draw clear lines of responsibility; the elected members of the councils should should have the williiningness to allow structures in place to work without political interference; KCCA and other public sector organisations should adopt online ccommunication and reporting channels where they share information and receive feedback; management of public entities should establish certain control mechanisms that ensure accountability; and that the government should be concerned with good corporate governance practices in all their organisations to improve performance.
