Bogere’s body was dissected into two by the train and they were all on a boda boda registration number UDT521A.

An eye witness says that the boda boda cyclist was stopped by an instructor holding a red flag but the rider insisted on moving ahead.

The traffic officer at the scene Inspector Wambasho Israel appeals to the public to always follow guide lines issued by traffic police.

He adds that if they had been followed the traffic regulations, this accident wouldn’t have occurred.

Meanwhile, well wishers have accused the Police for not being there on time to help the other two injured people.

They forced the traffic officers at the scene including Inspector Wambasho Israel to carry the remains of the completely crushed body of Bogere.

The police also want to use the operation to force the boda boda riders to pay taxes for the machines and the drivers to observe the traffic laws, rules and regulations.

But the drivers and boda boda riders we have interviewed have, however, accused the police of mistreating them whenever they launch crackdown on their machines.

The policemen and government officials who have motorcycles and vehicles hide theirs during the crackdown. The police say that they will continue with the exercise for one month.

The government banned them on Tuesday, a decision that left many boda boda riders disappointed. Fred Kaggwa, a boda boda operator in Entebbe told our informer that a demonstration is likely to erupt at Entebbe Airport anytime if the ban is not reversed.

That when she walks on foot, uses boda bodas or taxis people complain. Zuena said that people think that she being a celebrity she is supposed to move in brand new wheels.

And we think this is true, because we have also started raising alarm that the wife to a great singer Bebe Cool is moving in Kampala like an house girl sent by her master to do some shopping down town. We have also learnt that Bebe Cool’s wife negotiates for prices before she jumps into a taxi or on a boda boda.
