The Ugandan government says it will not interfere in the criminal proceedings against a Ugandan woman arrested in Kenya over alleged drug trafficking.
Zuraicah Nakabugo, 37, was arrested on November 7, 2026, in Kwale County alongside two Tanzanian nationals, Basleman Saleh Khamis and Hamad Seif.
The trio were allegedly found in possession of 454 kilogrammes of methamphetamine valued at KSh3.6 billion (approximately Shs113 billion). They were charged before a Mombasa court and remanded for 15 days.
Speaking on Tuesday, outgoing Ministry of Foreign Affairs Permanent Secretary Vincent Bagiire said Nakabugo would have to face the legal process independently, adding that the Ugandan government could not interfere in another country's judicial proceedings.
