Boda Boda Rider Under Fire for Carrying This Number of Kids on a Motorbike

In a shocking incident in Kasanje, Wakiso district, a boda boda rider has come under scrutiny after being spotted transporting seven school children along with their school bags on a single motorcycle. The incident occurred on Tuesday and has sparked widespread debate about safety and responsibility in transportation.

Social media users have been vocal about the situation, raising questions about who should be held accountable. Is it the rider for overloading his motorcycle, the parents for permitting such behaviour, or the authorities for failing to enforce safety regulations?

Concerns have also been raised regarding the lack of immediate action, with one user asking, “Has he been arrested yet?” Criticism has extended to traffic police, with another commenter remarking, “Add the traffic police who appear on the roads to only collect bribes and look the other way.”

The safety of the children involved has also been a focal point of discussion. Some users pointed out the potential risks, with one remarking, “It's extremely safe than one or two pupils on a boda boda. That is permissible as an exception under traffic regulations.” However, others have highlighted the economic challenges families face, suggesting that financial constraints drive such risky behaviour.

As the debate continues, this incident serves as a reminder of the pressing need for improved safety measures and enforcement in the transport sector.
