Govt denounces Kabuye’s arrest

GASABO - The Government Sunday denounced the arrest in Germany of the Director of State Protocol, Rose Kabuye, while on an official mission. Foreign affairs minister Rosemary Museminali told a news conference that the government had summoned the German Ambassador, Christian Clages, to formally protest the arrest. “We emphasised in the note that Kabuye holds a diplomatic passport and her job grants her diplomatic immunity, she was performing diplomatic duties and therefore the Germany authorities wouldn’t have arrested her; they should have instead, as required by the Vienna convention, given her all the courtesies and accorded her the dignity that she deserves to perform her duties,” said Museminali.
