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.

The army and police are probing reports that FDC and other opposition parties are secretly recruiting people into rebel activities. This follows intelligence reports last week that led to arrest of two opposition cadres in Nansana who had been reportedly recruited into rebel activities.

Sources in CMI have told us that they have recruited some leaders of these opposition parties to be the ones giving security reports about formation of rebel groups. A source says that most of the youth being recruited into rebel activities are in FDC, JEEMA, and SDP among others.

We have also been told that the opposition elements are being financed by western powers to get the youth engages in rebellions. A source says that the security has got all the names of people who have been recruited and so they will soon be arrested. We have not identified the names of the people being followed due to security reasons.
