The Ministry of Internal Affairs has confirmed the expulsion of Muzungu Boda from Uganda due to his illegal work status.
Simon Mundeyi, the spokesperson for the ministry, disclosed during a press briefing on Monday that Muzungu Boda had been working in Uganda without a valid work permit, violating the country’s immigration laws.
“To work in any country, an individual must possess a valid work permit. It is not permissible to work on a tourist visa, which he was doing while running a charitable NGO,” Mundeyi stated.

While Muzungu Boda held a valid tourist visa, his activities were deemed work-related, breaching the terms of his stay. As a result, he was escorted back to his home country, New Zealand.
Mundeyi clarified that this action was not a deportation, a distinction that allows Muzungu Boda to return to Uganda in the future, provided he secures the necessary documentation.
