Rev. Ezra Yongeza Mukonzo, the Coordinator of the Inter-Religious Council in Rwenzori Region has encouraged boda-boda riders to form and join associations as a means of promoting unity and cooperation.
Rev. Mukonzo made the remarks during the thanksgiving service of Kisinga Town Council Boda-Boda Rides Association, based at Muthoma Stage in Kisinga town council over the weekend aimed at enhancing their spiritual life through the acquisition of choir equipment.
Rev. Mukonzo also urged the riders to uphold moral integrity by avoiding acts of sexual immorality, vulgar language, excessive alcohol consumption, and other vices. He stressed that such behaviors damage their reputation in the community.
He appealed to the public to treat boda-boda riders with dignity and respect, noting that many of them are responsible parents and not “children” as they are often unfairly labeled. Rev. Mukonzo speaking..
