Groups of motor cycle (boda boda) riders and operators have vowed to stage a violent demonstration at Entebbe International Airport because the government has banned them from accessing their airport.

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.

The ban was instituted by joint security committees at Entebbe international Airport with effect from Wednesday this week in a bid to ensure security.

Moses Kafeero, the Entebbe Airport police commandant confirms that the boda boda riders have been stopped from accessing the airport.

The ban followed security reports that the notorious Al Shabaab fighters in Somalia were plotting to bomb Uganda over its involvement in the Somali insurgence.

You may think that the DP president, Norbert Mao is so loaded because he was a member of the sixth and seventh parliament and also LC5 chairman of Gulu district. However this is not the case. We have been told by impeccable sources within DP that the former legislator and Gulu district LC5 boss is currently as poor as a church mouse.

We hear he sometimes leaves his car at his home in Ntinda and uses a boda boda or a taxi to go to DP offices on city house building. When our reporters went to DP head offices to establish on the validity of the reports, they discovered that Mao had gone there with a motor cycle.

We are also told that Mao unlike his counterparts in other political parties, he drives an old pajero which sometimes fails to take him safely where he wants to go.
