Movement on Entebbe Road has been a nightmare with traffic halted for several hours to allow VIP convoys way! Some people who must head to Entebbe or Kampala have resorted to using short cuts in the villages, but it hasn’t been a smooth sailing as the traffic jam has moved to the village murram roads, which are also not in good shape.
Those heading to Entebbe Airport to fly out of the country have resorted to using boda bodas, and some have even decided to make the journey on foot.
Commuters who rely on public means are also stranded as taxis that usually ferry them have kept off Entebbe Road.
