Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Thousands of boda boda cyclists in Kampala braved the morning drizzle yesterday to register their motorcycles at various centres in the city on the last day of the census.<\/p>\n

The exercise, which was organised by Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA), started on August 15.<\/p>\n

By yesterday, all the census centres that our reporters visited across the five city divisions were crowded.<\/p>\n

Mr Kenneth Kitooke, a cyclist who operates on Sir Apollo Kaggwa Road, showed Monitor his details after concluding the process at Makerere University Primary School.<\/p>\n

\u201cDear Kitooke Kenneth, KCCA is pleased to inform you that your application for COIN has been received, your reference number is 221488774. Thank you,\u201d an SMS confirming his registration read in part.<\/p>\n

At Kawempe Mpogo Primary School, some cyclists\u2019 application forms were rejected due to lack of authentic documentation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have not succeeded because the card for this motorcycle is still in the name of the person I bought it from. We developed some misunderstandings and he refused to transfer the card into my name. They have asked me to get an agreement from him indicating that I\u2019m the rightful owner,\u201d Mr Ephraim Mugabi from Kawempe Kilokole said.<\/p>\n

Registration requirements include a duly filled application form, National Identity Card, letters from the LC, and the Parish Internal Security Officer.<\/p>\n

Ms Mariam Nalubega, an enumerator at Kawempe Mbogo Primary School, said the exercise was embraced at the last hour, but they had been receiving about 200 riders per day. \u201cThe turn-up was poor at the beginning of the exercise because the riders were reluctant. Some thought they would be asked to pay some money yet the exercise was free. Fortunately, those who came first encouraged their colleagues,\u201d Ms Nalubega said.<\/p>\n

Mr Eddie Yiga, a boda boda rider in Kiwatule, who had turned up at Nakawa Community Hall, said he delayed to participate because he did not know about the exercise.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t know where the exercise was being carried out from. It took me time to know that KCCA was counting us until I asked a friend who directed me here,\u2019\u2019 Mr Yiga said.<\/p>\n

Mr Gideon Tumusimira, a rider in Ntinda, said he could not go for the census early because KCCA required many registration documents that need time to get.<\/p>\n

Mr Muzafalu Kafeero, another cyclist, asked KCCA to give them more time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t have an agreement with a person who sold his boda boda to me, and my card also got lost. I request KCCA to give us more time so that we can find our documents,\u201d Mr Kafeero said.<\/p>\n

Ms Dorothy Kisaka, the KCCA executive director, said the authority will make an official statement today about the exercise.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe shall also then guide on the way forward regarding those who never participated,\u201d Ms Kisaka said.<\/p>\n
