With only four days left to the lifting of the ban on the movement of private cars, the Joint Security Taskforce has warned drivers against bringing back vehicles that are in a dangerous mechanical condition.
Speaking today at the Uganda Media Centre in Kampala, Mr. Frank Baine, the spokesperson of the Uganda Prisons Service who represented the police and the UPDF, said they had resolved not to allow any car that is not only dangerous to the owner but also other road users.

Mr. Biane also appealed to the drivers to be cautious while on the road because there will be many pedestrians using it because of absence of public transport.
For his part, Jacob Siminyu, the spokesperson of the ministry of Internal Affairs said they are working tirelessly to see that they reduce on the traffic at the borders as Drivers are required to first test negative of the virus before they are allowed entry into Uganda yet some samples are sent to Kampala due to low test capacity by the Laboratory machines at some border points.

Just yesterday, there was a strike by truck drivers at both Elegu on the South Sudanese border and Busia on the Kenyan border with drivers contesting the delay in clearing them to travel. END
