An entourage comprising the DP’s political strategists, thinktank, and MPs was already in Uganda waiting for their boss to leave Nairobi this afternoon for Entebbe.

Being a Public or State Officer, traveling out of the Country is a privilege granted by the State. One traveling out of the Country must only be to promote the interest of the State. Those undermining the President shouldn’t be given this privilege. It is how all Countries do.

There are those who argue, the Deputy President must stop using state resources and privileges which come with being a holder of the DP’s office for his private interests. Especially regarding his 2022 activities, which should not be advanced beyond the borders using government resources.
