The office of Teso North MP Oku Kaunya has denied claims by boda boda riders his office is distributing free condoms instead of free face masks. Constituency manager Richard Ochalu told the Star on Thursday the Wednesday and Thursday protests by boda boda riders were stage-managed by political opponents out to tarnish the name of the first-time MP. Boda boda riders in Malaba town protested on Wednesday and Thursday demanding why the MP chose to give them condoms instead of face masks to protect them from the virus. Boda boda riders in the subcounty say the government should provide free face masks. Putting on face masks can protect against the spread of the virus from an infected person who coughs or sneezes.
