Police have warned that any Ugandan found in possession of a fake diplomatic passport will face arrest at border points or at the airport.

Recent reports in the Ugandan media have highlighted government's ongoing investigation into the issuance of allegedly fake diplomatic passports to ordinary citizens.

"If someone presents a passport at the airport, border points, or any location where it's not required, and it's detected as fake, the airport police—who work closely with immigration authorities—will handle it," police spokesperson Rusoke Kituuma told Monitor.

He added: "Once the relevant authority identifies the passport as inauthentic or fake, they hand it over to us, and we begin investigations. We cannot pursue every person who shows off a passport."

The remarks follow an incident in which Rugiirwa Katatumba, a son to former honorary consul of Pakistan (late) Boney Mwebesa Katatumba, sparked public condemnation after appearing on social media with a diplomatic passport.
