@SpireJim @Mglsd_UG @UHRC_UGANDA @KagutaMuseveni @AgoraCFR @edthnaka @SpireJim , these are indeed very serious allegations. Let the complainant come over and see the PS @AggreyKibenge or myself in person, and I promise you, whoever this person who is or was at @Mglsd_UG and has a hand in the "game" will give answers. Any accomplices will be sorry.

@SpireJim @Mglsd_UG Most unfortunate. The @Mglsd_UG doesn't clear domestic workers to the UAE. We only do so to the KSA. Whoever took here there tricked and trafficked her. That's a person of interest. But let us have her details and we'll get her a temporary doc and work to get her back to UG.

@AAgather Heart wrenching indeed! The responsibility of an external recr co does not stop at the point of departure at Ebb. They must monitor the welfare of the migrant at destination all thru his/her stay, until she resettles back in UG, ensuring all her dues were paid. That's the law.

@DailyExpressUg @SpireJim @Mglsd_UG A good story @DailyExpressUg , but why "murder" my name. It is Lawrence Egulu. You called me "Elegu" , which is a border post in West Nile. And I didn't refute all allegations, I simply put forward facts. Where there's work in progress at the @Mglsd_UG , I accepted. Aahsanteni

@SpireJim @SpireJim , we have one policy regarding errant recruiters: before your license is called, you'll have made good your obligation. Let the complainant come to the @mglsd and we'll handle that company. We care about lives. Ugandan lives matter.

@SpireJim @SpireJim , you are doing a great job bringing out the good, the bad and the ugly in the labor externalization industry. Where things haven't gone as expected, we are the @Mglsd_UG say "mea culpa". But help us fight the bad apples soiling a noble idea. Don't be conned. Ask!

Asante sana Ndugu @owere_usher . My question still remains: Why are Bukedi, Mt Elgon and Busoga regions leading in the wrong "departments" - youth unemployment, child labor, NEET, poverty, youth not transitioned, child marriages, etc? What's not happening in eastern Uganda?

@ImranSsemuddu @Mglsd_UG @SpireJim @ImranSsemuddu , thanks for offering a Ugandan gal a job abroad as your maid. However to protect you and her as well, she needs clearance from the @Mglsd_UG . We need assurance that she'll be paid for her salaries, and that she'll have all fundamental rights at work.

@owere_usher @Mglsd_UG @UgandaMFA @labourhouseug @UAERAUg @ELAUofficial @MIA_UG @JamesEbitu Ms Hadija Namwase was externalized by Imara Global. She arrived in Dammam, Ksa on Feb 4, 2024. She's reported to have returned on March 16, 2024. We @Mglsd_UG would like to get to that bottom of the abuses reported here on X. Allow us follow thru with the local and foreign cos.

@BBCAfrica That "breaking news" about the "arrests" sounds more like, "Eight British football hooligans were found drunk by the roadside on Thursday evening at Piccadilly circus".

@DouglasMayamba1 @SpireJim @GodwinTOKO This Myanmar story is horrendous. Clearly there's an international syndicate behind it. However, we @Mglsd_UG encourage such courageous victims to come and help us sort out the Ugandans behind this vice.

Before @BOU_Official jumps high with happiness, I think Paris-based FATF needs regulation. How about the huge illicit financial flows from Africa into the European and American banks? Y accept our monies knowing it's stolen? And then u get AAA rating while we r blacklisted?

@kyakundwa @SpireJim @Mglsd_UG @UHRC_UGANDA @edthnaka Every Ugandan is influential. We all pay taxes and also vote. Laws are laws. Recruitment Companies have been delivered. They've been fined. Directors have been convicted. Others have been blacklisted and can't work in the externalization industry. There are no sacred cows!

@SpireJim @Mglsd_UG UG Recruitment companies are overcharged compared to where? Burundi's bank guarantee is at 150m equivalent. A license costs 50m. Yet Burundi is a much smaller economy! But again the @Mglsd_UG works with @UAERAUg on such matters. Unless company u r speaking on their behalf?
