KAMPALA- The Ministry of Internal Affairs has confirmed it “removed” Reid Samuel James, from Newzealand and also popularly known as Muzungu-Boda on social media, from Uganda over his illegal work status.
Simon Mundeyi, the ministry’s spokesperson, has told Journalists at Naguru Police Headquarters that Muzungu Boda was working in the country without a valid work permit, a violation of Uganda’s immigration laws.
Mundeyi explained that while Muzungu Boda held a valid tourist visa, his activities classified as work contravened the terms of the visa.
Before leaving Uganda, Muzungu Boda said that immigration officials had detained him for days. He also acknowledged using a tourist visa to enter the country, claiming he was not earning income but simply helping vulnerable children.
However, Mundeyi emphasized that Muzungu Boda was not deported, a distinction that allows him to return to Uganda if he obtains the necessary documents.
