Shops in Masaka are closed, all the roadside and street vendors have been banned from the area. Some Boda Boda Motorcyclists and passenger taxi drivers are tactically trying to ferry passengers around so that they can make some money to survive the lockdown. The Police are continuously cracking down on all of those who are trying to operate against the government's ban on all passenger transport means.
The government allows Boda Boda Motorcyclists that carry only goods to operate.
This means that if you want to buy something from the shopping center, you have to rely on the Boda Boda (Motorcyclists) whom you give money and a list of items you want so that they determine the price, buy and deliver to you. This is some times risky as some of them are ruthless and untrustworthy. Those who are trustworthy, their services are on-demand and have hiked their charges. All this is due to the outbreak of Covid- 19 and beyond the reach of the majority of the population.
As mankind, we all need to work together so that tomorrow looks a little bit better
