In his Address, the President called upon the Police to restore discipline on roads in Uganda, citing at indicipline among Boda Boda cyclists in Kampala has scared away investors.

“The Police must insist on enforcing the traffic and Road safety codes. Don’t overtake when you’re not supposed to overtake and don’t drive on the pavement because it’s for pedestrians. I have heard investors complaining about drivers in Uganda,” Museveni said.

“As Uganda is developing, I appeal to Ugandans to learn discipline. If you’re in Kampala and see how recklessly the boda boda cyclists ride, you’re going to undermine our efforts to bring more people to Uganda,” he added.

Museveni also urged the youth to live responsible lives in order to embrace developmental opportunities.
