Starting Monday, 24th August, no DMC Taxis will be allowed within the Greater Kampala-Metropolitan Area.
I have directed @PoliceUg to launch a 100-day operation in the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area targeting commuter taxis found to be in a Dangerous Mechanical Condition (DMC).
Our roads must not become death traps because of poorly maintained vehicles.
The operation will particularly focus on the dilapidated 14-seater taxis commonly known as “Ganyegenya.”
Public transport must be safe, roadworthy and fit for purpose. We owe Ugandans nothing less.
