The Ministry of Internal affairs has said they do not have enough money to stop the entry or send away illegal immigrants in Uganda.

This was revealed by the minister of state for internal affairs James Baba while appearing before the parliamentary committee on defense and internal affairs.

He says that there is no way the ministry can solve such a problem when it doesn’t have enough capacity to go to the field and discover such culprits.

Baba called upon parliament to look into funding the ministry in order to have the public concerns on illegal immigrants solved.

He says that if the ministry is funded the ministry will immediately start hunting for illegal immigrants.

Baba also pointed out that Ugandans will not be able to get national ID’S as earlier planned by the ministry due to inadequate funding.

The minister revealed that during the budget allocation for the ministry, the project was neglected and therefore the work will not go on since there is no money.
