: Uganda motorbike taxi driver Charles Ssebale fears his vehicle could be repossessed at any moment, having failed to keep up with his loan repayments after the East African nation imposed a two-month lockdown to contain a deadly outbreak of Ebola.
“The people who gave me the motorcycle assured me they will not take it back, despite continuing to remind me to pay in the lockdown times,“ Ssebale added. “You can’t impose a lockdown without having thought through how you’re going to feed them, how you’re going to provide support to informal sector workers,“ said Kembabazi.
Much of this work is insecure, poorly-paid and often unsafe, according to campaigners, with workers usually earning below minimum wage, not receiving sick leave or paid holidays, and being vulnerable to exploitation from employers and authorities.
