National Unity Platform (NUP) president, Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine has opened up and cleared air around rumors of how President Museveni helped to waive taxes on his armoured vehicle, when he imported it in 2021, he has provided documentation.
Through his Twitter account, Bobi Wine put out all necessary documents for when he imported his brand new Toyota Land Cruiser, which was an armoured vehicle back in 2021.
After the car was imported, there were claims that the Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) imposed heavy taxes on the vehicle, which President Museveni ordered to be waived.
Contrary to these claims, Bobi Wine has now revealed that these allegations were simply malicious attempts to tarnish his reputation. According to Bobi Wine, the bulletproof vehicle was legally imported and went through all the necessary legal procedures.
He further explains that they registered the vehicle under someone else’s name because they were aware of how the government would react if they knew it belonged to Bobi Wine.
The vehicle underwent clearance at the Directorate of Interpol in Kololo and was fully approved. It was then taken to the forensics department of the police in Naguru, where it also received clearance. Finally, it was taken to the URA, where an independent verification was conducted, and the relevant tax of Ugx 88,612,027/= was assessed and paid in full.
For several months, government authorities did not raise any concerns regarding the vehicle. It was only when the vehicle was transferred under Bobi Wine’s name that they began searching for reasons to impound it.
