A Kampala businessman recently slapped a conductor who had refused to give back his change of sh100.

The man, only identified as Kyaligamba, boarded the taxi at the Old Taxi Park heading to Wakaliga.
When the taxi reached Mengo, the conductor started asking for money from the passengers.

Kyaligamba paid the fare and waited for his changee but the conductor pretended to be busy with collecting other people’s money.

When Kyaligamba was about to reach Wakaliga, he requested for his change from the conductor, who refused, saying he had already given him the money.

When the taxi stopped, Kyaligamba slapped the conductor sharply three times before he got off.

The passengers in the taxi began harassing the conductor, accusing him of being a thief.

Sweating, the terrorised conductor was forced into silence.
