Uganda does not have any interest in Kenyan politics.

This is according to Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni who on Wednesday afternoon issued a statement on Deputy President William Ruto’s saga at Wilson Airport as he headed to Uganda.

Through the office of Uganda’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Henry Okello who held a press conference at the Uganda Media Centre based in Kampala- Museveni said that he was not ready to mingle in Kenya’s Internal affairs.

In his statement, the move to bar DP Ruto from leaving Kenya to Uganda was purely a Kenya affair.

“Uganda is not aware of the reasons why Kenya decided to delay and finally cancel Ruto’s flight on Monday, August 2. That is a matter that Kenya can answer,” he said.

Okello said that DP Ruto did not at any time contact Uganda seeking to be handed at services through the Ministry.

The Minister also said that at no point did Ruto through the Kenyan High Commission reach out informing them of Ruto’s plans to visit Uganda.

On Wednesday morning, DP Ruto said that he was not heading to Uganda for official duty and he was on private business.
