Former Kenyan justice minister blocked from entering Uganda, lawyers’ body says
The former Kenyan justice minister, who is also a prominent lawyer, has been reportedly blocked from entering Uganda, according to the Law Society of Kenya. The incident occurred at the Busia border point on Thursday, with the ex-minister being denied entry and forced to return to Kenya.
The Law Society of Kenya has expressed concern over the matter, stating that the actions preventing the former minister from entering Uganda are a violation of the East African Community Treaty. They have called for a resolution to the issue through diplomatic channels between the two countries.
While the reasons behind the denial of entry remain unclear, the former minister’s legal background and involvement in regional legal matters could be speculated as potential reasons for the incident. The lack of official statements from Ugandan authorities has added to the ambiguity surrounding the situation.
The former Kenyan justice minister has not publicly commented on the incident, and there has been no response from Ugandan officials regarding the matter at the time of this report.
