The police action follows a CCTV footage they released last week highlighting graphic details of accidents involving boda boda cyclists.

“It has come to our notice that motorcycles have become a menace on the roads. Each time accidents happen, four of them involve motorcycles and a lot of people are dying,” Ms Farida Nampiima, the spokesperson of the Directorate of Traffic and Road Safety, said yesterday.
