Ugandan Opposition Bobi Wine Gets $166,700 Tax Bill for Armored Car
Ugandan opposition figure Robert Kyagulanyi, popularly known as Bobi Wine, has been ordered to pay $166,700 (£120,000) in taxes for an armored car donated to him by his supporters living abroad.
The Uganda Revenue Authority said the details of the car had been misrepresented causing it to be undervalued.
The new bill is $142,000 more than was paid for the vehicle, a Toyota Land Cruiser V8, in taxes when it was initially cleared by the tax authority.
Bobi Wine protested about the bill on Twitter, saying that when you fight against President Yoweri Museveni all state institutions gang up against you.
He lost against Mr Museveni in the general election in January.
The campaigns were marred with violence and arrests of mainly opposition supporters.
Bobi Wine took to wearing a bullet proof vest and helmet on the campaign trail.
