Fake Stickers Hit Kampala Streets,Vehicles Already Causing Jam In The City Despite The Lock Down Directives
The Uganda police have launched an investigation to find out how drivers are accessing fake stickers within the city, this has come as surprise to the force since non-essential groups of people that were not granted permission by the president to use the stickers like Musicians and businessmen are already having the stickers.
This has prompted the Police in Kampala Metropolitan Area to impounded over 125 motor vehicles, and 57 motorcycles in a crackdown for flouting rules on
the movement directive put in place to stop the spread of the Coronavirus
(COVID -19).
The vehicles were reportedly
moving without stickers or when the stickers don’t correspondent with the
particulars of the occupants of the car.
Speaking at a daily press
briefing at the Uganda Media Centre in Kampala, Fred Enanga, the
spokesperson of the police said the crackdown was necessitated by an increase
in the number of vehicles on the road in some areas, causing even traffic jams.
Enanga also revealed that
they had arrested an ISO operative Steven Ariong attached to the ministry of
Works and Transport for conniving with other people to print more stickers
which he has been selling between Shs 150,000 to Shs 300,000.
