Uganda Calls for Respect of Namibia’s Decision on Kabaka’s Stay.

Uganda’s State Minister for Foreign Affairs, Henry Oryem Okello, has urged Ugandans to respect Namibia’s decision to decline a visa extension for Kabaka Ronald Mutebi, the king of Buganda. The Kabaka had been in Namibia for medical treatment since April, seeking care at the Okonguari Psychotherapeutic Centre. However, his request for an extended stay was denied by the Namibian government.

Minister Okello emphasized that each country has its own laws and regulations, which must be respected by all. While the reason for the denial is not officially stated, it is believed to be related to the recent controversies surrounding the Kabaka’s visit. Tensions arose after a group of Buganda Clan Heads who had traveled to Namibia to visit the Kabaka were arrested for not following proper protocols, according to President Yoweri Museveni.

The arrest of the Clan Heads sparked a diplomatic issue between the two countries, with President Museveni expressing embarrassment over the incident. The Ugandan government has urged all citizens traveling abroad to respect the laws and regulations of the host country.

The Buganda Kingdom has not yet officially commented on the matter, but sources close to the kingdom indicate that they are exploring diplomatic channels to resolve the issue. The kingdom had requested a visa extension for the Kabaka through Dr. Daleen de Lange, the Executive Director at Okonguari Psychotherapeutic Centre, but the request was denied.

The development has sparked debate in Uganda, with some calling for greater diplomatic efforts to resolve the issue. Minister Okello’s statement encourages mutual respect and understanding between the two nations, emphasizing the importance of respecting Namibia’s sovereignty and laws.

The incident has not affected diplomatic relations between Uganda and Namibia, with both countries committed to maintaining strong ties. The Ugandan government continues to monitor the situation and engage with Namibian authorities to ensure a resolution that respects the laws and regulations of both nations.”
