When Tomusange and family got up with the taxi and squeezed into it they left the people who saw them wondering whether the former referee no longer has a car to drive. Others were overheard alleging that Tomusange owns an old Toyota Corona but his problem is that he no longer has money to buy fuel.

At entering the car, Tomusange and family chose to occupy the back seats and when our reporter came near him, the former referee looked so relaxed and easy. The UTODA scouts who saw him entering the car started chating with him before the taxi filled up and started off the journey to Mukono.
