Background: New Vision, July 4th
Determined to revive the Uganda National Drivers and operators (UTODA), the national chairman John Ndyomugenyi apologized and begged its members to work together to restructure it. With an apology, Ndyomugenyi beckoned the Association members to start afresh. “Fellow UTODA members I apologize to you for what went wrong until we lost the tender to manage transport business as an association to Kampala City Authority KCCA. “I know that government still has support in our work,” he said.
This was in a meeting to seek ways of reuniting the UTODA members and also to create new avenues to manage the transport sector in Uganda. “Come back and register afresh. We can shift gears and operate to suit the KCCA transport requirements. Register and pay your membership as we organise elections.”
The members demanded to have all those who diverted the UTODA properties to be brought to book. “UTODA had a lot of property which we see people just owning to themselves. We must have openness when we conduct our election. Members also demanded sh3 billion that had been deducted by Uganda Revenue Authority to be given back to their Association.
