00:00Before watching the video, let me remind you that there is more content on the Hotpoint website.

00:04The employment opportunities in Uganda are rare.

00:07Many young people face the dilemma of graduation and unemployment.

00:11According to the latest survey by the Uganda Bureau of Statistics,

00:13the unemployment rate of the country has risen from 9% in 2019 to 12% in 2021.

00:20Among them, the unemployment rate of young people aged 18 to 30 is up to 17%.

00:24The unemployment rate of young people in urban areas is up to 19%.

00:29In order to support themselves and their families,

00:31young people have taken a different path.

00:33They have started motorbikes to provide delivery and transportation services,

00:37which has led to the Boda Boda motorcycle industry.

00:41However, as the number of motorbikes increases,

00:43riders violate traffic rules,

00:45and the danger of overtaking becomes more and more serious,

00:47which affects the safety of pedestrians.

00:49The authorities also said that

00:50they wanted to drive the riders out of the streets of the central commercial area,

00:55but they were strongly resisted.

00:59The number of motorbikes has risen to four,

01:00and a large number of Boda Boda motorcycles

01:03have been riding on the busy streets of Kampala, the capital of Uganda.

01:07As you can see from the video,

01:08some motorcycles are still tied with more than a dozen packages or baskets,

01:12which is a strong contrast to the small number of riders in front of them.

01:15Some people even took part in drawing lots,

01:18which caused a stir in the local government.

01:20However, the police often intercept and confiscate vehicles on the street.

01:24Some riders complain that the police are the troublemakers.

01:27The thing which causes accidents is the police.

01:30When you reach a traffic light,

01:31someone just comes and grabs your keys.

01:34So that's why Boda Boda,

01:37we just pass,

01:38we just break that rule.

01:40Sometimes others, they use one way,

01:43so there you can be safe,

01:45so that they can give you money,

01:47small money which you have,

01:48but if they arrest you,

01:49that money which you have worked,

01:51like 20 or 30, they take it.

01:54According to a report,

01:55Kampala's public transportation system is not strong enough.

01:57In addition, the government of Uganda has reduced the threshold of Boda Boda

02:00in order to protect the government.

02:03This has led to a flood of motorcycles,

02:05which has increased the police's difficulty in enforcing the law.

02:07An enterprise business manager who helps people to finance and buy motorcycles

02:11believes that the Boda Boda industry is not the root of the problem.

02:14Those who do not abide by the law are the problem.

02:17Our problem is not the Boda Boda,

02:19our problem is regulation.

02:21And regulation that applies to everyone equally.

02:24Where you have certain category of people

02:27trying to ride above the law,

02:29they drive on the wrong side of the road,

02:31they respect no traffic rules,

02:33they run through traffic lights,

02:34you're going to have a problem.

02:37This manager said that they will strengthen education,

02:40ensure that motorcyclists follow traffic rules,

02:42and become disciplined road users.
