Lord Mayor; Over 7 Trillion Needed To Implement Kampala Master

Boda Boda Registration Is Just Cash Bonaza – Lord Mayor Lukwago

Kampala Lord Mayor, Erias Lukwago, has said the Boda Boda registration is just a cash Bonanza for certain people. He says the amount of money they are asking is too much for the cause.

“They are collecting UGX 65,000 from each boda boda rider with no sanctioning of the law. Nobody’s approval. And they have not gotten any mandate or approval from KCCA, the regulatory agency. They are saying they are sanitizing the sector, but behind the scenes, it is different agenda. It is just a cash bonanza,” Lukwago said.

Lukwago says it’s KCCA that is supposed to set the amount but no one inquired from them when the charges were being set. He says if there was no intention to misuse this money, why is the process being changed now.

He says what the current officials are trying to do is what former Executive Director, Jenifer Musisi tried and failed.

“What they are doing is nothing new. If you listen to the Burora and Kyofatogabye, they are repeating what Jennifer Musisi attempted to do and failed. There is gullibility on the side of the elites. They say I am anti-development. I’m telling the truth. I keep on highlighting the trajectory we should take.”

According to Lukwago, most officials package fraud in terms of development and this is one of them. The Lord Mayor has been against this program since he first heard of it.

It’s apparently illegal and not fair for the boda boda riders. The fact that they pushed KCCA out of this program also has prompted him to think there is more to this than meets the eye.
