KAMPALA (Reuters) -Uganda has not reached any agreement with the United States to take in illegal immigrants, a senior foreign affairs ministry official said on Wednesday.
"To the best of my knowledge we have not reached such an agreement. We do not have the facilities and infrastructure to accommodate such illegal immigrants in Uganda. So, we cannot take in such illegal immigrants,” Okello Oryem, state minister for foreign affairs, told Reuters in a text message.
