A boda boda cyclist has pleaded guilty to assaulting a passenger after he slapped a female passenger over a misunderstanding.
Joseph Ssemakula pleaded guilty before Makindye court chief magistrate Prossy Katushabe and convicted on his own plea of guilty.
He has however asked court for a lenient sentence saying he has learnt a lesson for the period he has spent in police custody.
He has now been remanded to Kitalya government prison until the 13th of this month when he will be sentenced.
