You can't fight corruption selectively and win it.

Fighting corruption in Uganda is equally treasonous 💔.

[BOBI WINE @HEBobiwine]

In Uganda under Museveni, it is not the corrupt who face consequences for corruption. It is those who raise voices against corruption that face consequences for speaking out against corruption. When you set out to fight corruption, you become the target for threats, blackmail, arrest, abduction or even murder. On the other hand, the corrupt are protected, promoted and shielded by the state.

I therefore wish to stand in solidarity with all of you comrades who have faced increased threats to your life because of exposing injustice, corruption and misuse of public funds. That you face all these risks for seeking to hold errant government officials accountable for their crimes is something that should concern all of us. One day, this, too shall pass and become just another ugly episode in our country's history.

ON THE BULLET PROOF VEHICLE AND THAT TALK OF "370M"

Out of ignorance and sheer malice, some regime apologists, in response to our hard stance on corruption, have deliberately and repeatedly tried to drive the following false narratives:

1. That Museveni 'forgave us' some taxes on the bullet proof vehicle.

2. That I was paid gratuity of 370m when I left Parliament.

1. On the first issue, that bullet proof vehicle was legally imported and subjected to all legal processes. We had brought it under someone else's name because we knew how they would react if they immediately knew it was Bobi Wine's car. It was taken to the Directorate of Interpol in Kololo and they fully cleared it. It was then taken to the forensics department of police in Naguru, and they too cleared it. Then we took it to URA and they did their own independent verification and assessed the relevant tax of 88,612,027/= which we paid in full.

For several months, regime authorities raised no issue whatsoever. It was until we transferred the vehicle into my names that they panicked and tried to look for every reason to impound it. First, they claimed that bullet proof vehicles require the clearance of the ministry of defence, but there was no law to back this claim. After that, they wrote to us claiming that it was undervalued. They claimed that when the police first inspected it, they did not realize it was bullet-proof!!! You can imagine! They then asked us to hand it back to them, which we did in April, 2021.

Also, following the discovery that it was my car, they sacked the URA, Interpol and Forensics staff who cleared the vehicle. Some of them were even summoned by CMI for interrogation and detained. The man in whose name the car was imported had to run away from the country after receiving numerous threats.

We immediately sued the Commissioner General of URA through our late brother, counsel Wameli Anthony. (Civil Suit No. 67 of 2021). It is then that they wrote back to us to claiming that the car was undervalued. They claimed that instead of the 88,612,027/= initially assessed, they should have charged 337,698,776.25/= (Over three hundred million shillings).

As everyone can see, if the car belonged to any other Ugandan, they would never have asked for any extra money or even asked to re-inspect the vehicle. We believe that after realizing that this was my vehicle, they wanted to re-examine it and understand its features (or even plant some devices in there). No wonder, when they took it away, it was subjected to inspection by SFC and CMI operatives.

Anyway, we applied for review of this outrageous tax in accordance with the law, and issued a notice to also sue them before the Tax Appeals Tribunal. After more than two months from the time they impounded it, they wrote to us returning the vehicle, and because they are a bunch of politicians doing Museveni's bidding, they claimed it was him who instructed them to hand it over. Even then, they claimed that the imposed tax was still outstanding, perhaps out of shame. They have never followed it up again because they know they had no legal basis whatsoever.

Therefore, MUSEVENI DID NOT FORGIVE US ANY TAX ON THAT VEHICLE. URA simply had no legal basis to impound it!
