Azizi Ssekitoleko was found guilty by City hall grade one magistrate Moses Nabende for operating the bodaboda without a driving permit and third party insurance.
While fining him, the magistrate ruled that evidence adduced by prosecution's four witnesses was sufficient enough to prove that he committed the offense.
The magistrate however said that if he fails to pay the fine he should serve a 14 months’ imprisonment in Luzira prison.
