It is like every staff at the Red Pepper made buying a new car by the end of the year his/her year’s final resolution. With a month and so weeks remaining to close the year 2011, most of the workers are busy selling off their old cars and rushing to acquire new ones.

In the last two weeks alone, Red Peppers car parking in Namanve on Kampala Jinja road has seen an addition eleven cars.

The company’s editor Bob Tumwesigye has bought an Audi while Red Pepper’s crime reporter, Stanly Ndawula has bought a Mercedes Benz. Most of the cars the red pepper staff has bought is in the Toyota family.

What sounds laughable but could be true is that even some cleaners and get keepers at the Red Pepper also vow to buy cars. You see the Red Pepper Publications has a habit of guaranteeing its workers in the banks to get loan.
