EDITOR—Many Ugandans travel to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) especially Dubai, as businessmen and women while others are expatriates.

They inject a lot of money in the Ugandan economy as the hungry revenue officials on arrival cannot spare them even to take a mere pair pants tax free! My appeal to the Government of Uganda is to help improvise an embassy in the UAE where people don’t have a say. We face problems like those in Iraq.

For example, one is handcuffed and taken to police without even asking him/her for the an identification and when you talk, they say you are threatening the policemen! besides, people are made to sign documents at the police stations that they don’t even understand.

Some Ugandans die and no one can take a stand to investigate how these people die, so we really need an embassy here in Dubai. The Government has to be interested in both revenue and the lives of its people.
