Michael Othieno, Security Guard, Ultimate Security Company, Wakiso district
Othieno works as a security guard at the Ultimate Security Company and deployed at the FAWE offices in Bukoto to guard, patrol and monitor the premises to prevent theft. He stays in Nansana about 40minutes from his workplace and he normally pays a fare of Shs.8000 ($2) daily to commute from his home to the workplace. He noted “sometimes I don’t have transport especially if our salaries have been delayed and needed to walk to work”.
Under CFF’s Bike donation program, Othieno was given a Genesis Mountain Bike after a good recommendation from the Human Resource officer in FAWE. The bicycle has enabled him reach his workplace in time and also supports his family needs like buying medicines from a clinic, visiting the market and its also used by his son Edson to do more family errands.
