UNRA Finally Removes Speaking Truck From Kyaliwajjala After 5 Years

5

A low-bed hauler that has kept tongues wagging about its potential to talk and slap whoever wandered near it with ‘bad’ intentions has been disengaged and towed away.

The Mercedes Benz carrier truck had been a subject of ribald black magic tales throughout its illegal parking along the Kireka-Namugongo Road in Kyaliwajjala.

After several efforts by Police to tow the truck away, Uganda National Revenue Authority (UNRA) on Friday announced they had decoded the mechanical and technical wherewithal and would see the end of the tales today (Saturday).

And they did just that.

“The truck head has been dislodged and towed to a nearby parking yard,” UNRA spokesperson Allan Ssempebwa posted on X on a day he kept the public updated by the truck whose mystery has capitivated the nation for more than five years.

A team of mechanics from UNRA and hired heads backed by police arrived at Kwaliwajjala by 8.30am, ready to start their scheduled 9am operation.
