While former Deputy CDF Lt Gen Peter Elwelu was sanctioned for gross human rights violation specifically emanating from the 2016 UPDF attack on Kasese (Rwenzululu) kingdom palace where several people were killed, hundreds of royal guards arrested including their king Charles Wesley Mumbere.

Now sanctions on Minister Amos Lugolobi, Speaker Anita Among, Mary Goreti Kitutu have spilled to their spouses. This means FUFA President Moses Hashim Magogo will now carry the same cross with his second wife Anita Among, Kitutu’s husband Michael George Kitutu and Lugolobi’s wife Evelyn Nakimera are all equally barred from stepping a feet in the United States.

The additional steps to impose visa restrictions on multiple other Ugandan individuals are being taken under Section 212 (a) (3) (C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act under the policy”-the statement further reads.
