Members of Parliament want government to enter into treaties with other countries to repatriate Ugandans prisoners currently held in foreign prisons.
Mukono Municipality MP, Betty Nambooze Bakireke notes that countries such as Malaysia and China are holding in custody several Ugandans on charges of drug trafficking, murder and other crimes.
Nambooze says efforts by some of the Justice Ministries in these countries have tried to contact their Ugandan counterparts have been futile since the latter have not been receptive.
She says there should be an exchange programme where prisoners in foreign countries can serve their sentences in their home states.
