It seems the Uganda Taxi Operators and Drivers Association (UTODA) is not leaving the Old and New Taxi Parks as it was earlier anticipated following President Museveni’s directive to Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA).

It is said that the president on Tuesday sent a memo to the clerk to KCCA council and to the KCCA executive Director, Ms Jenifer Musisi indicating that the council should reorganize the transport system in Kampala between March and April and in May 2012 the powers to run the transport system should get back to UTODA.

The memo comes weeks after the chairperson of UTODA; Hajji Moses Katongole went to state house and pleaded with the president to save UTODA. According to sources in KCCA, Museveni advises that eliminating UTODA may cause more turmoil in the KCCA transport system.

Museveni reportedly advised that the tender to run buses and taxis should remain with KCCA but KCCA should hire an organisation such as UTODA to implement the contract.

The students were demonstrating over poor sanitation in their toilets and internship money. When they went to demand for an explanation why the toilets could not be fixed and why they could not get their internship money the arrogant IT professor could not give them an appropriate explanation.

He was only advising the already charged students to keep quiet so that he talks to them. This prompted the angry students to get stones and canes so that they could discipline him. The IT professor had first refused to address these students and he locked himself in his office until the intervention of prof. Tanga Odoi, the chairperson of Makerere University Academic Staff Association.

The students also demanded for his resignation. The police intervened and the IT professor managed to escape.

As a result of the recent hikes of interest rates in the market, many corporate businesses are encountering difficulties in paying back the loans they have acquired from the commercial banks.

A couple of weeks back, the traders in Uganda through their umbrella association of ‘Kampala City Traders Association’ staged a sit-down strike protesting against the high interest rates charged on bank loans. The traders claimed that many of them have had their businesses collapse due to high interests charged on bank loans.

The good news however is that Uganda Development Bank has come out to save the traders especially at this time when the country is undergoing into an economic crisis.

The Director of Uganda Development Bank has told the members of the press that they have the lowest interest rates in town and that the bank is committed to a long term relationship with the traders and all Ugandans at large.
