Barbra Rukundo, a student and researcher at @kyambogou SoME, sheds light on critical gaps in understanding and trust surrounding Motor Third Party Insurance (MTP), particularly in the claims process. Her study reveals that only 4% of the population fully understands MTP insurance, while 52% have limited knowledge, and 44% are unaware of its purpose entirely. Many see it as just a legal requirement rather than a valuable protection policy. To bridge this gap, Barbra recommends that the UIA collaborates with local leaders and transport unions to run awareness workshops in high-traffic areas, distribute educational posters in local languages, and introduce community insurance ambassadors to enhance public understanding. #UIASoMEPartnership

He reaffirms UIA’s commitment to supporting this partnership with the necessary resources and information.
