Government Rubbishes Bobi-wines' Proposal to Repatriate Ugandans and Africans stuck in China.
The
Foreign Affairs Ministry has rubbished a proposal by Kyandondo East Member of
Parliament Robert Kyagulanyi to repatriate Ugandans and Africans stuck in
China.
In a letter dated 15th of April addressed to the Prime
Minister Ruhakana Rugunda, Kyagulanyi said he has partnered with
an American media owner and businessman Neil Nelson to evacuate 285 people
from China including Ugandans and other black Africans.
He asked the government to allow the people into the country.
According to Kyagulanyi, they have secured a privately chartered Quantum Jet
Airbus A330-200. In his letter, Kyagulanyi says they travelers would be
taken care of while in quarantine.
Government has however asked Kyagulanyi, to leave foreign
Affairs matters to the President.
The Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Henry Okello Oryem
questioned if Kyagulanyi will meet the quarantine costs.
Oryem
also wondered if Kyagulanyi will also transport Ugandans stuck in other parts
of the world. He says the responsibility
of protecting the Ugandans abroad, lies with the Head of State.
