The Opposition in Parliament has put the government on task to initiate measures of rescuing and repatriating Ugandans suffering and stuck in Myanmar-Burma.
Addressing journalists at parliament, the shadow minister for Foreign Affairs also MP Kyadondo East Muwanda Nkunyingi, said that over 450 Ugandans are trapped in Burma by different rebel group groups.
He says the majority of these went on promises of jobs, tourists, and studies but unfortunately, they ended up being recruited in rebel activities, prostitution, and criminal acts like computer hacking.
Muwada challenges the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to always issue advisory notices to Ugandans before they travel to any foreign country.
He has also vowed to present the matter in parliament, demanding the government to urgently engage in all resume missions of Ugandans in Burma, Egypt-Cairo, and other Arab countries.

Muwada has also attributed the matter to the failure to appoint career diplomats and instead resorted to appointing political failures and NRM royalists who are unprofessional in foreign affairs matters.
