There is an urgent need to widen the road and install speed humps to prevent further loss of life. This is not just a request; it is a cry from the community,&#8221; Batamukoraho stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Batamukoraho appealed to fellow riders to avoid night travel and refrain from parking in dark, isolated areas of Kisoro Municipality. This warning comes in response to a noticeable rise in robberies and assaults targeting operators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, the General Secretary cautioned them against financial irresponsibility, reminding them that their motorcycles are their primary source of income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cue in: Batamukoraho on Boda-Boda safety RR<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/westernpearlreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BATAMUKORAHO-ON-BODABODAS-RR.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI want to caution our members against prioritizing luxuries over safeguarding their motorcycles.
