The Executive director of Kampala Capital City Authority Jennifer Musisi says that the authority will not cooperate with the new leaders Under the Uganda Taxi Operators and Drivers Association.

This follows fresh elections by the former taxi governing body yesterday that saw William Katumba replacing Hajji Musa Katongole.

Musisi says that the drivers already have leaders at each stage and KCCA will continue to work with these in running the taxi industry.

She also warns the new leaders against resuming the collection of money from drivers.

UTODA has always been run as a company drawing criticism from many drivers who always demanded that it should be turned into an association.
