Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Mr Chapa Karuhanga, a founding member of one of Uganda\u2019s opposition party the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC), has been detained in an immigration facility in Dar es Salam, Tanzania, for the second day over unclear cases, but he has been visited by a lawyer.<\/p>\n

Mr Nicholas Kamukama, the brother to Mr Karuhanga, said although they have been unable to reach him, they were informed that he is detained and the lawyer is working to secure his freedom and rights.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lawyer has visited him and talked to him. We still don\u2019t know about the case he is being held on,\u201d Mr Kamukama said Thursday.<\/p>\n

Mr Karuhanga was intercepted by Tanzanian Immigration officers as he was about to fly out to Nairobi, Kenya on Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n

The State Minister in charge of Regional Cooperation, Mr John Mulimba said on Thursday told this publication that the Uganda High Commission informed him that Tanzanian authorities confirmed holding Mr Karuhanga.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur High Commission in Tanzania said they were not told why they are holding him. I have also not been able to establish whether he was arrested on the request of Uganda or not,\u201d Mr Mulimba said.<\/p>\n

Efforts to establish whether Uganda Police Force logged an appeal against Mr Karuhanga were futile. The police spokesman Fred Enanga hasn\u2019t responded to our messages about the issue since Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Mr Karuhanga is the managing director of Serefaco Consultants Limited which conducts feasibility studies in energy, especially petroleum extraction, and environment management. The firm established its presence in Tanzania in January 2022 and has been active in the oil extraction studies.<\/p>\n

Mr Kamukama couldn\u2019t rule out that the arrest of his brother could be related to the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) debate that is going on in the European Union Parliament, Tanzania and Uganda.<\/p>\n

Last week, the European Parliament asked Uganda and Tanzania to delay the building of the pipeline to allow further studies on the dangers it could pose to the environment and humans.<\/p>\n

Uganda and Tanzania are opposed to the European Union Parliament resolution and both countries insisted that they would continue with the project as scheduled.<\/p>\n
