Uganda's ICT Minister Chris Bary OmunsiUganda's ICT Minister Chris Bary Omunsi has alleged that Uganda and Kenya’s Governments were in touch in the arrest of Uganda’s opposition leader Dr Kizza Besigye. Contrary to the Ugandan official’s statement, Foreign Affairs Principal Secretary Sing’oei Korir said Kenya had no role in Besigye’s alleged arrest or deportation on Wednesday. “There is no reason whatsoever for Kenya to be a party in his arrest, if any,” Korir said. His disappearance follows the July 23 arrest of 36 Ugandan activists associated with him in Kisumu before they were shipped to Uganda. Byanyima who is the executive director of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), on Wednesday, asked Uganda's military to release the opposition leader from military detention in Kampala where he's reportedly being held.
