Francis Zaake can not leave the country without clearing his case with Uganda Police.

Zaake had been advised to seek for more expert treatment in India after days bedridden in Rubaga Hospital in Kampala.

Government spokesman Ofwono Opondo in a message sent on the Media Centre social media pages, revealed that the Mityana Municipality MP is escaping from justice.

Opondo posted: “Mityana municipality MP Francis Zaake is a suspect on the run who disappeared from lawful police custody in Arua and should be arrested at the earliest. He could be trying to escape from justice.”

Zaake was blocked by security at Entebbe Airport set to fly to India for further treatment.

His lawyer Asuman Basalirwa who traveled along with him to the airport said: “Police officer by the name of Aloka has informed me that we need clearance from police before Hon. Zaake travels to India. Zaake’s condition cannot allow him to go to police. If he is not cleared, he could easily die – Hon Asuman Basalirwa.”
