Management of California Bus Services Arua Apologizes to Customers Over Inconvenience Caused by Traffic Police Officers at Luwero.

During a communication this online publication blog team had this evening with the CEO of California bus company, the management has apologized to the passengers who boarded this morning 9:00am 10-Jan-2023 bus registration number UAY 649C from Arua enroute to Kampala and they were stopped by Traffic Police officers at Luwero over Route Chart.

The CEO Mr Embati Saverino said, bus companies in Uganda basically pay for two obligations, and that is; PSV fees and provisional income tax which are all paid annually but the third obligation is now the route chart which is perhaps free but government wants to charge it at a fee, that is why those passengers were stopped this afternoon 3pm and delayed for four hours at Luwero before the bus was later on allowed to proceed with the journey to Kampala.

He said, Ministry of Works and Transport one week ago held meeting with them the Bus operators / Transporters in Uganda but a sharp misunderstanding ensued in the meeting because the Ministry wants to charge for route chart and also wants collection of dues on loading and offloading of cargos be handled by the ministry, opposed to the previous policy which permitted Local Governments to collect the dues.

On behalf of the management, Mr Embati has therefore apologized to the passengers and entire customers of California bus company over the inconvenience that was caused by the stop over over the bus earlier today 10-January-2023, adding that, the Bus operators / Transporters in Uganda will properly hold a meeting to address these challenges.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent. It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu". We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service. If you have not been denied registering your child i...

Parliament also urged Gov’t to provide additional Shs4Bn to UTB to engage international and national media houses in production of positive media stories for improved destination image, following reports of drop in number of tourists from US, Europe and China visiting Uganda. "The National Development Plan targeted to cumulatively attract 281,760 International Tourist arrivals from US, Europe & China but only 67,252 arrivals were registered by the end of the first half of FY 2023/24.

However, statistics show that international arrivals from the aforementioned areas have continue to drop. The UTB requires Shs4Bn to engage international & national media houses in production of positive tourism stories to improve destination perception in light of recent controversies that shade the destination in a bad light. However, this has remained unfunded,” said La...
