Betsy Mugamba who handed over the motorcycle and its documentation noted that Kyaka has been working at the station for the last seven years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe stood out because, during COVID time when we were all under lockdown, Kyaka decided to walk to work every morning,\u201d Mrs Mugamba said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She added \u201d He does not live in Bukoto, Nalya or Kololo, he lives in Buloba. It’s quite far. He walked from Buloba to Kampala for 3 months\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mugamba also thanked Sanyu FM Managing Director Rajiv Ruparelia for accepting to reward Steven Kyaka because of his commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen i told Mr Rajiv he was so touched and said that we should give Kyaka a motorcycle. That’s why he has a bike today. I also want to ask other employees to follow suit\u201d. She said<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kyaka in his remarks also said the respect for his work acted as a driving force to walk from home to work every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI felt so bad about Presidential directives on COVID 19 which included curfew and suspension of public transport. From then I knew keeping a job would be \u2018survival for the fittest because I stay very far in Buloba, no way the staff van could come to pick and drop me\u201d. Said Kyaka<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added “I was advised by management to stay home until the Lockdown is lifted but I had to be around with the aim of delivering positive results and keeping my job. I decided to walk to work\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kyaka is not only a radio traffic controller but also an author and has written a number of books such as Tuzaalibwa Kubonaabona (Born to Suffer), The Route to my Saviour, Kadongokamu Music Directory (detailing Herman Basudde\u2019s and other stars in Ugandan country music, The Ark of Love and Why Some Pass & Others Fail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
