Government has suspended ban of boda bodas in Kampala City centre.

Uganda Police on Monday announced that the exercise had been suspended following a new directive from the Ministry of Works and Transport.

“This morning, we had started operating the free zones. But upon guidance from the Ministry of Works and Transport, the operation on the implementation of the boda boda free zones has been suspended to allow creation of outer stages out of the gazetted zones and signage,” Fred Enanga, the police spokesperson, told the media yesterday .

“Some boda boda riders, including passengers were not being guided. So a roadmap clearly outlining the process will be released for our implementation. We call upon those in the boda boda industry to continue with their operations pending new developments. They should observe the SoPs (standard operating procedures) and should also work within the timing of the curfew and avoid carrying more than one passenger.”

Daniel NuweAbine, the KCCA manager of communications and corporate affairs, said enforcement of the free zones will start on August 31.

“Following the recent National address on Covid19 by President Museveni, Boda Bodas are to resume carrying passengers and luggage on the 27th July, 2020. Consequently, a set of Standard Operating Procedures for all the Boda Bodas operators nationwide have been issued by government through Ministry of Works and Transport and Ministry of Security,” Kampala, Minister Betty Amongi said in a statement on Saturday.
