Subsequently, several banks have pinned up signposts prohibiting boda boda cyclists from parking in their yards.
Kampala Metropolitan police deputy spokesperson Luke Owoyesigyire said the ban is due to security reasons.
“There have been many cases where criminals who use motorcycles park near banks. After bank clients come out with bags containing money, they follow them to an unsecure place where they attack and rob them of their money,” Mr Owoyesigyire said yesterday.
He said security agencies thought it wise to ensure that boda boda cyclists are banned from establishing stages or gatherings near financial institutions.
