On the evening, Vipers should have been ahead in the 11th minute, but Yunus Sentamu struck inches wide after being presented with a goalkeeper-to-beat opportunity.
Less than a minute later, Kitara broke the deadlock through a calm Ssemugabi finish past golkeeper Jack Komakech.
It should have been a leveller for the Venoms in the 14th minute, but Karim Watambala's effort was superbly saved by goalkeeper Chrispus Kusiima.
Kitara then threatened again three minutes later, but Solomon Okwalinga struck the upright to leave it 1-0.
Three minutes to half-time, Vipers grabbed a leveller through a calmly-taken penalty from Anukani after Sentamu got felled in the box.
Three minutes into the second half, Vipers made it two through a superb Anukani dinking finish off a sublime pass from substitute Allan Okello.
Okello nearly made it three in the 65th minute, but goalkeeper Kusiima leaped like a salmon to thwart him.
With three minutes to the 90, Kitara thought they had equalized but the goal was deemed offside after a Living Kabon freekick was headed in.
Vipers will hope to keep their run going forward when they visit Maroon FC at the Luzira Grounds on December 13.
On the other hand, Kitara, who stayed third with 19 points, will host Express FC, a day earlier.
