Taxi Services Disrupted in Greater Bushenyi Over Leadership Dispute

[Archival Sense]

Taxi services across Greater Bushenyi were disrupted today after drivers under the Bushenyi Taxi Drivers, Operators and Owners Association laid down their tools and appeared in court amid a leadership dispute within the association.

The strike affected hundreds of parents, students and traders, with the disruption coming as schools reopened for the third term.
Passengers were left stranded at taxi stages in Bushenyi, Ishaka and Kizinda as drivers stopped operations to attend court proceedings related to the dispute.

The conflict involves two rival factions. The current association leadership, headed by Yasin Kyoota, is facing a group led by former union chairman Lukwago Muhammad and another member identified as Dadala.

The group led by Dadala has taken the association to court over a financial claim exceeding Shs150 million, deepening the leadership wrangle and disrupting transport services across the area.
