News reaching our desk indicate that ailing Mityana Municipality MP Francis Zaake has been reportedly blocked from flying out of the country for specialized treatment by immigration officials.

Zaake’s family reached a decision on Wednesday to have their patient flown out of the country for specialized treatment following government’s failure in expediting the necessary paper work in activating the medical insurance offered to members of parliament.

However their efforts seems to have hit a dead end after officials at the airport blocked them asking for an official clearance from Police

Zaake travels to India. Zaake’s condition cannot allow him to go to police. If he is not cleared, he could easily die”
