The police deployment at Old and NewTaxiParksin Kampalahas entered day three. This follows Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) took over the management of the taxi parks.
The High Court in Kampala on Monday dismissed a case filed by Uganda Taxi Operators and Drivers Association (UTODA) against KCCA on grounds that the case was wrongly filed.
Following the ruling the police heavily deployed at both Old andNewTaxiParks fearing that the members of UTODA might violently demonstrate protesting against the ruling.
When our reporters visited the contested taxi parks, the policemen were guarding at the entrances of the taxi parks while KCCA officials were collecting taxes from the drivers.
When contacted, the Lord Mayor of Kampala Erias Lukwago said that the management of UTODA has now discovered that he has started to bite.
