UTODA calls
KAMPALA — Uganda Taxi Operators and Drivers’ Association (UTODA) has asked the Government to reduce taxes levied on passenger vehicles to prevent further fare hiking. UTODA general secretary Charles Kamya Kateregga said in this financial year’s budget, taxes rose to sh700,000 from sh380,000. He said vehicle owners cannot afford the tax because most of the money is spent on fuel and servicing the vehicles.
Two charged
MUKONO — Two men who allegedly posed as veterinary officers and fluked a workshop at Ridar Hotel, Seeta, were recently charged with impersonation. The two are part of the six men who were arrested at the Livestock Health and Entomology workshop. Tumusiime and Oketcho appeared before Grade One Magistrate Eleanor Khainza and denied the charges. They were released on a cash bail.
No recruit
WAKISO — The district officials recently refuted allegations by some LCI leaders that Chakamchaka trainees would be forcefully recruited into the Uganda People’s Defence Forces.
