Ebola: Govt to sue illegal entrants

Atwine also cautioned people who facilitate illegal crossings, including those allegedly helping travellers conceal themselves in trucks transporting goods from the DR Congo into Uganda. “We are going to write to the Chief Justice; we are going to have instant courts,” Atwine said, warning that Uganda would no longer simply return offenders to their countries of origin.

Atwine said Uganda would strengthen surveillance along its porous borders with the DR Congo, work with security and intelligence agencies, and reinstate the traveller tracker at the airport to improve the monitoring of people entering the country.
