Ugandan politician Robert Kyagulanyi, popularly known as Bobi Wine, says he will not hand over his new armored vehicle to the government for fresh inspection as demanded by the authorities. The youthful Bobi Wine, who finished second to President Yoweri Museveni in the country’s general elections held on January 14, is battling accusations by the Uganda Revenue Authority of erroneously declaring the value of the said car. But the Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) has since released a statement indicating the details of the car were misrepresented and it was thus undervalued. “The above-mentioned motor vehicle was declared to customs as an ordinary motor vehicle instead of an armoured motor vehicle, the implication of which is that the vehicle was under-valued. An ordinary make of the car is worth Sh8 million but an armored version could cost up to Sh45 million.
