Subject: ugnet_: Dual citizenship
Kategaya backs dual citizenship for Uganda
INTERNAL
Affairs minister Eriya Kategaya has supported the proposal that the Government
grants dual citizenship to Ugandans in the diaspora, reports Jude
Etyang.
Kategaya said he supported the proposal since he was a
member of the Constituent Assembly (CA) in 1995 although it failed.
“I
see no problem with dual citizenship,” Kategaya said while speaking as a guest
on the Capital Gang radio talkshow on Saturday morning.
The show was
hosted by Robert Kabushenga while the gangsters included Movement director of
information Ofwono Opondo, journalist Bernard Tabaire and Jacquelyn Asiimwe.
“As long as those Ugandans in America and Europe send us the money, I
do not see why we should deny them just a passport,” Kategaya said.
Kategaya said the CA rejected dual citizenship because there was fear
among the members that the Government wanted to use it to grant citizenship to
Rwandan citizens who had been living in Uganda.
Kategaya said dual
citizenship, which he said is a way of attracting investors, should be raised
again for debate in Parliament.
