Any civilian found impounding motor cycles will be subject to immediate arrest and prosecution in court.

Motorcyclists are advised not to surrender their motor cycles to individuals wearing civilian/plain clothes. In case of such attempts, they should promptly inform the police about the location of such unauthorized operations.

All impounded motor cycles must be taken to designated Police Stations and not any other location.

Any motor cycles previously impounded by boda leadership in Kampala should be released immediately to their rightful owners or be taken to the nearest police station.

These directives aim to ensure the security and transparency of motor cycle operations within Kampala Metropolitan Area.
We urge all residents and motorcyclists to cooperate fully with the police in implementing these measures.

Your safety is our priority, and together we can create a safer environment for all.
