THE Uganda Taxi Operators and Driver’s Association (UTODA) has 14 days to produce its report about the violation of disabled persons’ rights in the public transport sector.

In August, UTODA met with the National Union of Disabled Persons in Uganda to forge a way forward regarding the rights of the disabled persons.

Before the meeting, UTODA promised to furnish the Uganda Human Rights Commission with the details of their findings after the discussion.

“The purpose of this letter is to require you to update us on your findings as you promised,” commissioner Ida Nakiganda wrote to UTODA on October 18.

The rights commission also asked UTODA to update them on the steps taken to address Fred Mugerwa’s complaint.

Mugerwa, a student at the Law Development Centre, complained that a taxi driver and his conductor denied him access to a Kampala-bound taxi at Wandegeya.

He reported the matter to the Police, who arrested the driver, Hussein Kabuye and the conductor, Dominic Mukiibi.

The duo was later released on Police bond.
