Ugandan boda boda rider suspended for 'disorganising family'

A boda boda rider in the neighbouring country of Uganda has been suspended from operation for three months for violating a by-law.

According to a letter seen by the Star dated May 22, Okot Geoffrey Amuti of Pader Town Council will not serve from May 22, 2024, to August 22, 2024. 

His suspension came after the investigation done by the committee upon finding that he violated association by-law article 14 section (17).

The article states that "No any member is entitled to disorganize the family of his or her fellow boda boda through falling in love with the wife of his or her comrade or be in a position to connect comrade's wife to someone".

The Pader Town Council Boda Boda Association noted that Okot will stay suspended until further notice, which both members and the public will be informed in writing.

Okot was warned against failure to comply, which will lead to fines or action in the next step as prescribed in the constitution.
