Controversial MUK don, Stella Nyanzi has lashed out at the state of corruption in the country. While reflecting on the arrest of social media critic Frank Gashumba over fraud charges, she stated that its the weakness of the institutions to blame.
“If Gashumba can have multiple passports using fraudulent aliases, what does it mean for the rest of us who carry Ugandan passports? We have fake bank notes, fake academic transcripts, fake leaders, fake hair, fake hips, fake accents, fake job contracts, fake pay-rolls with ghost workers, and now fake passports! How much more dilution and corruption can Ugandanness suffer?” She stated.
She called for scrutiny into Ministry of Internal Affairs way of work and treating Gashumba’s arrest as a symptom of a bigger problem.
“Given the rigorous process of proving one’s ancestry, residence and belonging within Uganda, how come Gashumba was variously let off the hook and allowed to obtain these varied passports? Shouldn’t the entire Ministry of Internal Affairs be handcuffed along with Frank Gashumba?”
