According to Winstone Katushabe, the Transport Licensing Board Secretary, the reached decision has been influenced by a number of issues ranging from driver to emergency gadgets.
“After finding issues with the company, the board decided that the licence be suspended for a month,” Katushabe said.
“The company drivers must go through a refresher course to ensure they are capable of steering a 67 passenger vehicle before they resume their duties.”
