Addressing the nation on COVID-19 at State House Nakasero this afternoon, Museveni said when he stopped public transport; private cars started transporting Ugandans to various destinations at exorbitant fees.
“Private car owners saw an opportunity when public transport was banned. They hired out their vehicles,” Museveni said, adding: “Where there is money, Ugandans can die, this I have confirmed.”
He added that: “People were spending Shs50,000 from Kampala to Jinja under the opportunistic arrangement when public transport was banned the first time.”
