QN: WHAT IS THE PROCESS OF BUYING A CAR?

Now that you have had enough with this morning rain of Kampala and haters generally, it is time to buy a car and show the devil he is a liar and all his cousins. More power to you. However, you ought to know a few things, after all, cars are not vegetables that you should simply walk to the market and buy.

Buying firsthand cars is pretty easy as you only need to walk into your preferred dealership, checking out the car and paying for it. The advantage is that dealerships often offer warranties that allow you to return the car easily incase of any mishaps. For used cars however, caution is recommended.

After selecting the car, you need to find a trusted mechanic to ascertain the true state of mechanical conditioning of the car. It is then recommended to check the URA portal online, inputting the number plate of the car to find out who the true owner of the car is so that you are sure that the person selling the car has the power to transfer the ownership to you. Thereafter, it is important to check the Uganda Police website to find out firstly, whether there are any offences that may be linked to the car but secondly, whether there are any pending fines on the car that were given to the previous owner. If all these are in order, it is recommended that you ask an expert to draft a proper car sales agreement, detailing the car, the buyer and seller and the time of sale. When having this agreement drafted, demand proper identification of the seller to ensure no mistake of identity. Verify this identification as people can be tempted to forge.

Should you check all these boxes, you should be ready to drive to work in the rain to the embarrassment of all your haters!

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent. It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu". We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service. If you have not been denied registering your child i...

They are used to doing other things. But somehow they managed to act properly, I was surprised.” When they [SFC] went where this young man was in the room, he had ca...
