The designated minister of state for international Affairs Okello Oryem then warned Ugandans not to attempt going  to the middle East countries for jobs which are not professional in nature. Soon after been vetted by the parliamentary appointments committee Oryem  said they have discovered that the manner in which Ugandan girls and boys are treated in the countries is not conducive.  He says that government will communicate if the working environment for workers like maids and cleaners improve in the Middle East Countries.

On Ugandan embassies and missions abroad Oryem says that they are now in better conditions than before since most of them were renovated. He however, stated that those embassies will continue to be with few staff due to small resource envelop the ministry of foreign Affairs is facing. Oryem further says that Ugandan troops will not return to South Sudan for peace keeping despite new fresh fighting in this country and added that the force can only be sent if there is a genocide.
