However, in URA’s response to the claims, they said Kyagulanyi reported the vehicle to customs as an ordinary car. They discovered that Bobi paid less taxes for it upon realizing that the car is armored. They therefore need him to pay for him to fully possess it.
Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) told the court that Robert Kyagulanyi didn’t get special permission before importing the vehicle.
‘’Armored vehicles are restricted items under the customs law and the law regulating the Uganda People’s Defense Forces. They require special permission to import or own. Thus it would only be proper if the applicant (Kyagulanyi) cooperates with the respondent (URA) to clarify on and clear the matter as the law requires,’’ URA’s Balamaga said in his affidavit.
The manager in URA’s customs department argues the queries raised on the vehicle would remain pending if not examined again.
In his application to stop URA from impounding his vehicle, Kyagulanyi said the government impounded his Toyota Tundra in 2018. His Tundra is currently at Arua Police Station. He added that for long the state has picked him as a target, either damaging, destroying, or confiscating his vehicles.
In their response, URA said all claims by Kyagulanyi are mere allegations adding that they only intend to circumvent the law.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
