Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) have started hunting for temporary road licence violators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Temporary Road License (TRL) is a document issued to foreigners intending to come into Uganda with their foreign registered vehicles or Ugandans working abroad with valid work permits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A clean up is currently ongoing around the country to net culprits misusing these regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last week, 11 high performance vehicles that included Jeeps, Hummers and BMW X6 were were impounded by our intelligence team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the Temporary Road License, a person is granted a maximum of 90 days and once they elapse, they are supposed to return to their countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, some foreigners and Ugandans living out of the country commonly known as “ba-summer” violate the TRLs. They choose to stay and test their luck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The impounded vehicles were got from; Kabalagala, Kololo, Ntinda, Munyonyo, Entebbe and Ggaba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most of these had foreign plates with expired TRLs]; Some had sold the vehicles to different individuals; and others had no documents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
