Dr. Aceng was in Entebbe for a tour of duty of the airport and quarantine facilities when she met people under quarantine to address them and hear their individual views.
However, when she started addressing them when she referred to the situation in Italy, a foreigner attempted to interrupt her with a comment that Italy is safe with or without Uganda’s support.
“Shut up. If you start shouting, we will leave you here for 14 days anyway. You only have two choices, either you stay here or exit. Even if you move upside down or roll down. Either exit the country or stay here,” she said.
“I am not going to listen to people who think they are rowdy. We can start with you listening to me about the two choices we have. Otherwise, the security is willing to ensure you go back,” she added.
The minister had earlier told the people under quarantine that their issues are a result of Uganda’s interest in protecting its citizens from coronavirus as a primary aim.
Otai Peter, a journalist with UBC after watching the video clip by the minister claimed thus;
“I have watched the clip making rounds on social media and I have to say I am so proud of what the Dr did. she put all other issues aside for the good of her country.
