CAA Bans Passengers From Capturing Videos, And Photos At Entebbe Airport
The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has banned the capturing of videos and photos at Entebbe Airport.
The announcement follows viral videos leaked online pinning CAA staff for allegedly extorting travellers.
In a warning post put at the entrance of the airport, CAA states, ”capturing videos and taking photos is prohibited. Management.”
Over the recent weeks, social media platforms, especially Twitter and TikTok, have been awash with videos of several Ugandans complaining about cases of extortion travellers who use the airport being subjected to.
The above triggered the Inspector General of Government (IGG) to pick an interest and vowed to expose all those involved.
IGG Betty Kamya said, “As the IGG, I want to applaud the [ordinary] citizens of Uganda, who have come out to expose the extortion at the airport. These are our heroes because they are not politicians, religious leaders or government officials, but local Ugandans who have come out to say enough is enough of corruption.”
The IGG said this is not the first time the inspectorate is investigating UCCA staff. Kamya said they have investigated at least 21 cases of corruption in the authority in the last five years.
“It should be clear that whoever is found culpable of corruption or acquiring of wealth in any illicit way shall be prosecuted according to the Illicit Acquisition of Wealth Act or the Money Laundering Act,” vowed Kamya.
