{UAH} Gitobu Imanyara: Mr WBK
WBK,
Here is a statement from Mr Gitobu Imanyara on the Ugandan farce. I last met Gitobu in Nairobi in 1985 and have since lost contact with him.

During the last general election in Uganda I was the head of the African Union election observer mission to Uganda. In an unprecedented holding we came to the conclusion that those elections were neither free nor fair and made recommendations for creating a level playing field for next elections. Our recommendations were trashed and I was involuntarily taken out of the hotel shortly after reading our mission statement and driven to Entebbe Airport where I was given "VIP protection" by security officers in the VIP Lounge until 4 pm when the Kenya Airways plane arrived and I was the first to board for the return journey to Nairobi. I am appalled that this election's AU observer mission made no reference to our recommendations when they declared a fraudulent election "free and fair".
Gitobu Imanyara
