Uganda: South Sudan Car Owners Get Clearance

Arua — The Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) has given special clearance to South Sudan car owners fleeing from violence in their country to use them without a temporary road licence.

The tax authority usually gives temporary licences of three months to foreign-owned vehicles, renewable once after which they are required to return to the country of origin.
