Membership is strictly free. There are no charges whatsoever as long as you are part of the motor cycle traders’ community at both Nabugabo-Shauriyako and Kisekka market especially Shamba Complex. We hope to extend our tentacles to other business fraternities all over Kampala and other parts of the country. What challenges have you encountered since the formation of this association? We had previous predecessors that ruined the ideals of previous associations. This greatly lowered the zeal of traders. We thus decided to engage our members at an interpersonal level as we progress to a national level. What is your vision of this association in times to come? We are yet to convene our first inaugural meeting soon in which we are going to devise strategies that will empower our members to profitably g a i n

from their membership in form of advanced bargaining grounds when clearing their goods at Uganda Revenue Authority (URA), lobbying for more representative rights among our members that are local investors among other benefits. This is just a tip of the iceberg; so much more is store for our members at each specific time. Right now, we are moving slowly but steadily to accomplish our medium term and long term objectives.
